- Sarkarverse in three more languages: On 2014 March 21, Sarkarverse was made available in three additional languages. Besides our English version, we now have:
- MediaWiki upgrade:: Sarkarverse's platfrom MediaWiki was upgraded from MW 1.21 to MW 1.22 in the first week of March. This upgrade brought both benefits and hassles. With the upgrade, we got a faster site, some errors were fixed — these were benefits. The upgrade also brought some new errors, and we had to update a series of modules and templates — these were hassles.
- Scribunto Lua— No more: Scribunto is a core extension of MediaWiki that uses the Lua programming language. From the very first day we have been facing difficulties with this extension. In mid-November (2013) it was fixed. Now the error is back, and it is affecting hundreds of pages and templates. Our volunteers are working to fix it.
- Lack of editors: Although Sarkarverse is going to be 5 months' old this March, the site is still badly lacking active editors. If you are not engaged with editing, please consider helping out.
- Sarkarverse social news: Sarkarverse Facebook page touched 350 likes on March 14.
