==De-Wikifying Wiki Pages==
Austin wrote a nifty script that allows a site to display wiki pages, as if they were static.  He did this with the [http://syntheticbiology.org Synthetic Biology] site.  However there is no reason other labs would not be ble to do it as well with a little work.  The script caches files for 1 day (however it is still fast with no caching).  Austin also cleaned up the code a bit and moved everything I thought was specific to synthetic biology to globals at the top. Download the [http://austin.che.name/synbio/dewikify.txt dewikify] perl script if you are interested. --[[User:Skosuri|Sri Kosuri]] 20:30, 18 Sep 2005 (EDT)
