Wiki Stats - End June 2020
The total number of pages in the Wiki (as at 1 July 2020) now stands at 10111 (previously 10041, 9831, 9793) an increase of 70 pages during the month. Of the total, 1900 pages (was 1874, 1842, 18397) begin with a number and are most probably a date related gleaning. We currently have 4313 wiki pages categorised as "People", of which 3857 begin with the letter "R".Community members should log in to see more.
TRP Users
We ended June 2020 with 437 user accounts registered in TRP, an increase of eight. Actually we added eleven accounts during the month, but housekeeping saw three unclaimed accounts removed. We had seven users successfully activated their accounts during the past month. We welcome to our community Vann Cunningham, Ryan Reeves, Andrea Reeves, Betsy Wilcox, Tom Reeves, Sharon J and most recently Deborah Thorley. As ever, my thanks to those of our most recent members who have managed to create a meaningful AboutMe Page as described in First Steps - Part 2. They are in good shape to move on to Part 3.Whether you joined TRP recently or a while ago, if you have yet to do so, please set a meaningful name for yourself as described in First Steps - Part 1. It isn't difficult and only takes a couple of minutes to do.

Software Updated
The wiki software underpinning The Reeves Project was upgraded on the morning (EDT) of Saturday 20 June 2020. This was only a minor version upgrade from x.4 to x.5 and took around 30 minutes to apply. Apologies if you unexpectedly found access to TRP closed for a brief period of time, but we decided this wasn't going to be significant enough to warrant sending a formal notification to the whole community. Our thanks to Jonathan for executing the change for us.Hints and Tips
