  • 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.
  • Add all languages to foreign language GoogleTranslateLinks.
  • 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

  • Rename all solar cooker design images so that they show up as clickable titles under the automatically generated images at the bottom of the category pages.
  • Go through all country pages and verify external links
  • The help pages need to be rewritten to indicate that an account is now necessary and that WYSIWYG is now the default.
  • 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.
  • Search youtube by country and "Solar cooking" to find other recent solar cooking activities in each country.
