| == Google Maps for Arda ==
| |
|
| |
| Hey, I have finished the [[User:Eldarion_Telcontar/Google_Maps_for_Arda|Google Maps for Arda extension]], we talked about [[Tolkien_Gateway_talk:To-do#map_engine_for_middle-earth|here]]. KingAragorn has tested it on a MediaWiki server he set up and after resolving one error it works well. Now it would be great if you could install the extension on our server. You can find the installation instructions [[User:Eldarion Telcontar/Google Maps for Arda/Installation|here]] (it takes under 10 minutes to install).

| The hyarion.gotdns.com subdomain seems to be out of order, and as a result none of the java entrances to the chat can be accessed.
