A lot of technical changes are noted in the [[MediaWiki:Community-corner|community messages]] which get flashed to every registered user's account.  However, not every technical change is really important enough to bother people with a notification.  Thus, the ''best'' way to keep apprised of changes is to come here.  
The currently active technical announcement board is called '''[[Board:The Drax Cave|The Drax Cave]]'''.  


As of 1 May 2012, there are no plans to archive any of this material.  As these are announcements which generally continue to have applicability, the threads will simply be left intact here, until it becomes obvious that there is a demonstrated ''need'' for an archive.
