	While it is true that Web sites do not benefit from the number of links associated with any particular widget/gadget (ie if 5,000 copies are downloaded, Google does not count 5,000 links), the directory listing itself is still picked up in reference to its semantic tag and ''any external links'' bookmarked as a result of users wanting to re-visit the Centiare listing to read and/or use the information.

		+	==System Upgrade==
		+	Centiare is now '''[[Special:Version\|live]]''' with Mediawiki 1.10 and SemanticMediawiki 0.7! This is a major upgrade with a significant structural changes to both program files and database tables. It will be interesting to see how many other wikis are able to make the transition. Two points of interest:
		+	# If you're using FireFox, you may need to clear your cache to have the newest javascript factboxes and ASK query reports render properly. To clear, just click on the Tools tab, then 'Clear Private Data';
		+	# ASK can now "[[Attribute:Address\|page]]" through additional results past any initial limit. (System default is 50, but it can be set lower - see [[Help:Inline queries\|documentation]]). However, in order to see additional results, the page variable has to be '''explicitly set'''.<br>That is, while we can still use attribute:=<nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>, where pagename=address, for single page results, any secondary listings need actual hard-coded references eg attribute:=address, etc.
		+
		+	Let me know what you think of the system, including any performance improvements (or degradations), semantic features, ASK, etc. [[User:Snerfling\|Snerfling]] 17:51, 28 May 2007 (PDT)
