2015.igem.org Server Upgraded
Today at 10:30AM U.S. Eastern time (2:30pm UTC), the 2015.igem.org web site was upgraded and moved to a new server. If you experience any new problems, please tell us (email hq AT igem DOT org).
Do you have CSS or JavaScript code on wiki pages whose titles end in .css or .js? Are these pages failing to load? Try moving the code to a new page whose title doesn't have .css or .js.
2015.igem.org Server Upgrade - Friday 10:00 AM Boston Time (2-2:30pm UTC)
The 2015.igem.org web site will be unavailable from 10:00 to 10:30 AM Boston time (2-2:30pm UTC) Friday, September 11 to move it to a new server and to upgrade it to a new version of MediaWiki.
We are making this change so that our servers can do a better job of handling the extra load before the wiki freeze. Please remember that even with this extra capacity, you may find intolerable performance if you wait until the last minutes or hours. Do not wait until the last minute to work on your wiki!
This change also upgrades the site from MediaWiki version 1.16 to version 1.24. Please let us know if this change causes any problems (email hq AT igem DOT org).
Finally, we have corrected several security problems. In particular, only members of a team will be allowed to edit wiki pages belonging to that team.
Upcoming deadlines - September 11
September 11 is the upcoming deadline for late Giant Jamboree registration, as well as team rosters!

Team rosters are also due September 11. Team members will need to be listed on the official team roster as an approved team member in order to receive a participation certificate.
