Thanks for all your work so far! [[UserOrthodoxWiki:ASDamick|Rdr. AndrewStatistics]]  ==January 7, 2005=='''Merry Christmas! Blessed Theophany! Happy New Year!''' Work continues apace, and massive expansion is occurring in multiple categories, thanks to our multiple new contributors. In the past few weeks, we've significantly simplified and organized the [[Main Page]], which should make the site a good bit more usable and attractive. Additionally, for examples of some of the more developed articles we've has been working on, see: [[Mount Athos]], [[Lindisfarne]], [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia]], [[Autocephaly]], [[St. Tikhon's Orthodox Monastery (South Canaan, Pennsylvania)]] and [[Iona]].  We're also working on the individual days on the [[Church Calendar]], updated with much more to do! Take a look at the numerous categories on the [[Main Page]] recent information (or go to [[Special:Categories]]still going strong), click around, and see what needs doing. Please also stop by [[Orthodox Church]] and [[Ecumenical Councils]] to flesh out the content in these central articles, and definitely pop in to [[:Category:Saints]], [[:Category:Monasteries]], and [[:Category:Jurisdictions]] to see the growth in those areas. We're currently still adding to the [[OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual]], but its essential structure and a lot of the basic content structure for '''OrthodoxWiki''' are now in place. A lot remains to be done on the meta-side of things, however, especially on the [[Help:Contents|Help]] section. Thanks to everyone who's helped out so far, and please be sure to bring your friends. Your lowly sub-sysop, [[User:ASDamick|Rdr. Andrew]]
