I propose merging the power grid software article into this one.--Anthony 14:58, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Oppose. If Power Grid becomes large enough to document each option, and each other piece of software grows similarly, this page will be huge. --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 15:07, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

But the power grid article in its current state satisfies the need of the section on it in this article. I say that copying the current stub into this article for now as a summery and leave the original for expansion.--Anthony 15:17, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

If by 'merge' you mean 'copy the content here, but keep Power Grid as an independent page', then I'll Support. --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 18:29, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

Also, how do you scale down the images?--Anthony 14:59, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

I haven't had any luck with scaling images; I think the only thing to do might be to upload a smaller image. Also, the image you uploaded appears to be broken (i.e. all white). --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 15:05, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

It should be fine now. I can see the image on my computer. I will try making a smaller version sometime.--Anthony 15:17, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

I think you can scale down the image like this: ^Image:30px-Disambig gray.svg.png|150px^ --Rubberchickenben 17:51, 7 May 2007 (EDT)

You should be able to, but it doesn't work in my experience--The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 08:21, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

Same here; I also tried ^^Image:docking2.png|thumb|right|150px|^^ also. It works on the main wikipedia sandbox but not on our wiki or so it seems.--Anthony 17:11, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

There are several features Wikipedia has that we don't. This could be because we're using MediaWiki 1.5.6 and the current version is 1.9.3. We should look into rectifying this delay. --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 18:28, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

OK, I checked mediawiki.org, and we'd have to update MySQL and PHP too. This looks like a job for... SUPERWEBSERVERADMINMAN!!!!!!! (who is not me) --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 18:31, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

And who IS that? --Rubberchickenben 16:18, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

Daniel Kekez (he's an alumnus). --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 16:59, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

Explanations

You know what would really be awesome? If someone who knew the orbit software were to put a brief explanation on the Wiki of every number in the display. - Darth Wombat 01:56, 13 March 2010 (EST)

I think there's something of the sort on teh Magwood's website. ---Benzyne^{Talk Page} 12:07, 16 March 2010 (EDT)
