   1. in progress 25%
        Education & Help --> Tutorials: Recreate the old particle tutorials in Blender 2.47 with the help of Sandbox/Particles-Startpage.
      1. to do
          Making Rain
      2. to do
          Controlling Particle Motion
      3. to do
          Particle System Shadows
      4. done
           Sandbox/Particles-Fireworks-Tutorial is a recreation of the old Fireworks tutorial from 2001 (Add links to other internal/external tutorials on particles.)
   2. in progress 25%
        Education & Help --> User Manual --> Particles Replace with the new 2.46 Particle System documentation
      1. done
           As a first effort, Link to the new 2.47 documentation by SoylentGreen in the sandbox as it is currently very hard to find through search or by traversing the menus.
      2. to do
           Continue and (hopefully) complete SoylentGreen's and others work on the particle system and place the new manual page(s) in the user manual. Include cross references to particle pages for version 2.45

Blender UI

1. to do
     Possibly do UI designs for Blender 2.5 according to suggestions by Matt Ebb and others as I gain more experience using Blender.

Blender Wiki Design

1. in progress 50%
     Work on the CSS for the default Blender Wiki skin to:
   1. done
        Improve on the diff display (make dark background or dark text to be able to read anything at all)
   2. in progress 50%
       General readability (improve bullet points, watchlist page, recent changes page, search results page, colors for todo, inprogress and done)
   3. to do
        Framework usability (make article links stay in place while user scrolls article)
2. to do
     Update the Style Guide to contain all styles and templates that are actually to be found in the Blender Wiki as well as new templates found sprinkled about.
3. to do
     Possibly modify existing templates and/or create new templates to support expand/collapse tutorial paragraphs containing extra info and tips.
4. to do
     Use whitespace:pre-line; (Quirksmode) to make preformatted text with very long lines wrap nicely <Example page>??
