Writer's Guidelines

New World Encyclopedia has developed a Writers Manual to ensure articles are presented in a consistent and unified manner. All writers, editors and copyeditors need to follow the Writers Manual and are not certified until their work reflects a thorough understanidng of it.

Open Source

We are grateful to all developers of MediaWiki and other open-source software we are using in this project. We have made some customizations and additions to these packages and we will be contributing them back to the community in various ways. The first such effort is our work on a new search engine for MediaWiki that is already used on this site. Please see SphixSearch extension for details.

Statistics

Most of the activity before our public launch is happening internally, but we are also getting an increasing amount of general Internet traffic. Statistics page displays the cumulative stats since our beginning. We hope to provide more detailed statistics in the future, especially after the public launch in 2008.
