Yesterday Bondline's back-end database was migrated to a @DigitalOcean MySQL Managed Database, to reduce maintenance effort. Alas, it required a change to 7 tables, to add a primary key. So @MediaWiki updates may be MORE effort. Is there a better way?

The Bondline web site moved overnight from @Webfaction to @DigitalOcean to resolve nagging technical issues. And Bondline now is https thanks to @LetsEncrypt, in case that improves search engine visibility.

We're saddened by the death of founder Bob Steward, but Bondline will continue. Your remembrance of Bob is welcome: http://t.co/3yJcFsoYn6

We're back up and stable after 4.6 hours downtime. Sorry for the inconvenience! Details: https://twitter.com/sbw/status/55069824040177665

Bondline uses Mediawiki, terrific software, but it lacks good spam tools. So for now, new users must be approved by a volunteer admin.

New: Plain-language privacy policy and disclaimer. We want you to know how Bondline differs from other web sites you use. http://urlzr.mp/v7

Bondline now sports the latest Mediawiki enhancements, making it easier than ever for you to contribute. Try it out & give us your feedback!

After more than 4 years, Bondline finally has a "Help" link to actual help. Oh, and a rich text editor, if you prefer that to Wiki markup.
