Welcome to the Chemical Engineering department's server. It is named after the apocalyptic event in Norse mythology. 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.

Speaking of construction, check out the progress of the new Engineering building.
