10 EMail confirmation required for Editing
Adding a Captcha to the editing dialog didn't solve the spam problem. As an additional measure it is now required that a user has a confirmed EMail-address to allow editing of pages. If your EMail is not yet confirmed the Wiki you will be asked o do so before further editing. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Should you experience problems (no mails arriving etc) please contact me through the Message Board (preferably this thread)

11 Added captcha to edit dialog
In the past few days a lot of spam-messages were added to the Wiki and had to be removed. To make things more difficult you will be asked a simple arithmetic question when editing/creating a page. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Should you experience any problems, please contact me
Update: It seems like the spam-bots can do arithmetic. I changed the captchas to some simple questions about OpenFOAM. Hint: all the answers are single letters. It should be easy enough to figure out which ones.
As a side-effect it is required that you enter a valid summary for your edit

13 WikiNews Installed MathJax extension
Installed an extension that uses MathJax (a JavaScript-Library) to render formulas enclosed in math-tags .
As described on the page of the extension this also adds the possibility to add references to the formulas.
Thanks to Oliver Borm for the suggestion.
As this library uses the same tags as the old mechanism for rendering math no changes to existing pages are required. Should you experience problems with existing formulas that seem to be due to the change please contact me
Update: Disabled the extension because of the problem described here (having environment variables like $HOME in the text breaks the rendering). Hints how to solve this problem are welcome. Once a fix to the problem is known the extension will be reenabled.

18 WikiNews Update To The Wiki January 2012
The software basis of the Wiki has been updated. Due to a leap in the version numbers and unforseen problems with the update of the machine the Wiki runs on this resulted in a downtime of several hours.
The Wiki is now operational again and as far as I can tell everything is working as expected. If you encounter any problems please contact me. Either over the message board or be editing the discussion-page of this article (not the article itself).
There are two visible differences:
- the Wiki uses a different default skin (and the skin can not be changed anymore)
- On the bottom of each page there is the possiblity to share this page on Facebook, Twitter or Google+. Usually this kind of button sends information to that service as soon as you view the page. I don't think that it is their business where you surf. Therefore sharing the page requires 2 clicks. The first click allows them to track you, the second click actually shares the page

19 WikiNews New Design Of The Wiki April 2012
To mark this very special day I'm giving everyone interested a preview on the new design of the openfoamwiki.net
The purpose of this design is it to make the Wiki appeal to a new, younger audience. Other designs that were decided against (but I'm putting these for discussion, too) were focussing more on the openSource-ascpect ( the verdict was "too geeky") and to raise interest of female researchers (for some reasons this one didn't test positive with the group in question. We think it's the colours)
The design will be made active in the next days (there are some Flash-games we still want to add)
