  • Season 4 is said to be the last Battlestar Galactica season by Edward James Olmos and Katee Sackhoff. [1] While David Eick initially denied this[2], the SciFi Channel later announced that Season 4 will be the final season of Battlestar Galactica, with Ron Moore and David Eick stating that this was a creative decision by the staff.
  • A new BSG (RDM) game is coming from Auran Games and Vivendi in autumn. [3]

Goals
Battlestar Wiki is always expanding, but some of our projects need extra attention from all the members to get them done. Some of these projects have "due" dates to make sure that they are completed by a certain time. The dates for "due" dates were achieved with a consensus of the participants of the discussion. Joe Beaudoin Jr., site owner, does not need consensus to set due dates, but usually informs the group of what's going on.

Listed below are the items that have due dates.

Project/Goal Date Due
In Process: Developing Cast and Crew Articles. Before January 2008. Mid priority.
In Process: Verify and generate needed Podcast Transcripts. Before June 2008. High priority.
Convert summaries into act-by-act breakdowns for all episode guides. Before January 2009. High priority
Expand on Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming Before January 2009. Low priority.
In Process: Organize, tag, and cross-reference every media file on the Media Wiki Before January 2009. High priority.
In Process: Develop how-to documentation for wiki-editing. No "due date". Low priority.

Discussions
Below are some discussions on the Battlestar Wiki that need some input. Things has stagnated with these things and we need a fresh look over these items.
Discussions Status

I am wanting to write and find out if there are others that have the same feelings I do, I am from Utah and grew up in the Mormon (lds) faith and when I watched battlestar, its like there is alot of Mormon dialog and also hidden clues to whom to wrote this show, now if your a mormon you would get what I am talking about and if not then thats ok because its all great program with a religious theme to it. Now if your a mormon and this has new information then that is great too you just learned something that I did back in the late 80's.

Now when I watch the shows I can now see what Glen Larson was trying to show to everyone.

ToDo List

Battlestar Wiki is the first online Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia ever to exist, and the greatest source of information about BSG (other than the series bible, which is not available to the public). However, that comes at a cost: many are stubs that need attention. If you like, go ahead, be bold and think your ideas, and jump right in. If you aren't ready to fly solo, you can participate in a Collaboration section and see where you can help out.
