The update will take place around 7:00~7:30am EDT on May 2nd, 2007. This will allow the wiki to be open for all of today to allow work on the pages. However, I expect no problems in the update, the wiki of course will be locked for a short time to allow no conflicts with the upgrading process. There are a series of updates so this will be the only notice. I been told by the developers that the “final release version” will be up by the end of the week.

As usual, once the upgrade is complete, please use this blog post to post any problems or get in contact with me on my talk page and I will address them when I can. Thank you!

Update is complete. Chinese wiki is the only with with problems.

There’s an interesting blog entry on “Battletar Galactica” talks from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, particularly a piece presented by Sarah Toton entitled “Reimagining Fan Culture: The Long Journey of Battlestar Galactica“, which discusses the Battlestar Wiki, in particular it raises the question of why there aren’t more female contributors to the wiki.

While the paper isn’t (yet) available online, I’ve queried Ms. Toton and hope to be receiving a copy of her paper in the future.

More on that and other BSG discussions here.
