Welcome to the Chemical Engineering department's server. The main interface is a Wiki, and the links in this paragraph should take you to Wikipedia, the best-known example of what communal editing can achieve. If you want to play, use the Sandbox.

The server is still under construction -- we track progress on the server project using redmine. The whole thing is editable at the moment, so if you see an error, fix it! If there's something you want but don't know how to do, add it to the WishList.

News

• 2015-05-05: chemeng.up.ac.za online with the migrated wiki content.

• 2010/08/17: We are now tracking usage statistics using Munin to get an idea of what load Ragnarok is under.
• 2010/05/31: Ragnarok's OS has been upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx). A php downgrade was necessary to get the wiki running, so please report any problems to the Administrator.
