One-time tasks

Paul

Go through all of Solarcookingnut's videos and add as appropriate to Wiki articles (See Solarcookingnut.)
Check each featured gallery on the Manufacturers and vendors page and make sure everyone is still in business.

Ben

Write article about environmental benefits of solar cooking
Change all links to Compendium parabolic cookers
Fix indiv/ngo problem here: *http://solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki/Scot_Frank
Go through SCI Digests and make sure there isn't something there that we missed.

Tom

DONE Change Facebook and Twitter icons
DONE Ask Dieter Seifert which parabolics to list on category page.
DONE Rename HeadlineExt2 template.
DONE Add verbiage to WAPI to indicate that water slowly heats and cools and is thus in kill zone for quite a time.
Tighten up Canning article including some caveats for these issues: "We do not, and cannot recommend these canning procedures, even for fruits. I have never seen any heat penetration work published or referenced to know these procedures take care of target microorganisms for all different fruits and tomatoes. If it was this simple, we would have the same process time for every fruit, even in boiling water. Different foods and packs heat differently while processing in the canner. They are mis-interpreting "all you need is boiling temperature." The goal is not to just bring the syrup to boiling and stop heating. Plus, when syrups or liquids boil out of the jar, you run the risk of lids not sealing, since those surfaces which meet should be clean. Also, we set goals for desirable headspaces and evacuation of air from jars before sealing for good vacuums and quality during storage. Our recommendations do not include solar canning or the description you have provided."

Unassigned

On many of our country pages we have links to Kiva partners in that country that do micro lending. We need to check each of these and make sure they are still valid Kiva partners and we need to add more newer partners or possibly just a link to all Kiva partners for that country. An example is here.
Go through recent news stories and important articles and try to turn the red links into external links to existing resources on the Web.
