September 2008
- Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book
- The Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book has reached a major milestone today, 30 days shy of its third birthday: the Nature Series now has answers to every single requirement of every one of its 75 honors. Overall, there are 206 completed honors in nine categories, and 354 honors in all. It has been a tremendous amount of work, and I have enjoyed every single moment I have spent working on it. I want to thank everyone who has contributed to the project, including many on Wikipedia who don't know they contributed. I imported a lot of material from there and morphed it to suit this book's needs. At the current rate of work, I expect the book as a whole to be completed in about another three years.

- NPOV Checking
- Laleena is heading up an effort to review all our modules tagged as NPOV violations. All users are invited to help improve these modules to comply with policy.
- Special:Userrights
- This new special page allows user rights using a single interface. The previous methods to make bots and make sysops will be depreciated once work on the user interface is complete.
- The underlying schema also allows more modular user rights. Users may now request the rollbacker and patroller rights at Wikibooks:Requests for permissions. This allows vandal fighters and new page patrollers to spread the work out over a greater number of people. See Wikibooks:User rights and Wikibooks:Reading room/General#Rollback and Patroller Rights for details.
