[[File:Computer hacking.jpg|left|180px]]<br />'''LIMSwiki suffered an unfortunate web attack''' about two weeks ago. I'm not privy to the exact tech details, but as I understand it no user information (usernames and passwords) was ever compromised. The intent seems to have been to take down the site, possibly using malicious code. I understand the tech team has restored the site, though they had to make necessary upgrades to the MediaWiki install as well as other server-side software. This unfortunately had a side effect: we lost our page view counting data. Well, it's not technically lost; it could still be retrieved I believe from the backup file. However, I'm not sure it could be successfully imported into the current build. The attack aside, it seems MediaWiki [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:HitCounters|unceremoniously ditched its built-in counter functionality]] starting with version 1.25. While an extension was developed to reintroduce that functionality, it apparently involves a very specific upgrade process in order to retain that count data. I'm not going to ask the tech team to go back and redo the upgrade and fix from scratch. We'll begin tracking page views again with the new extension and start anew. However, you can still view the historic Top 30 pages (by page view) from April 2012 to January 2016 on the [http://www.limswiki.org/index.php?title=Template:Most_popular_pages&action=history history page] of the associated template. Simply click on the "prev" link of an edit on that page and scroll down to see the listing as it was for that date.

Forum moderator John Jones [http://www.limsforum.com/forum/the-limsforum-group-is-moving-from-linkedin/ explained it this way]:


"All, it is with regret that I must make the decision to leave Linkedin as the forum for our group. Linkedin has planned changes that will make this group unworkable. We believe strongly in open information and Linkedin is planning changes that would severely disrupt this. However, there is good news... I have planned for this day and knew that Linkedin would pull some sort of bone head idea like this, so I have been working on a complete new site that will let us all carry on our great discussions and a whole lot more. You will be able to login with your Linkedin account and continue as usual."
The forum is now hosted at [http://www.limsforum.com/forum/ http://www.limsforum.com/forum/] and can still be used with your LinkedIn ID.

LIMSwiki has yet another guide for you, this time involving the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. The first edition of the LIMS Selection Guide for ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratories is now live for your perusal. This guide looks at the ISO/IEC 17025-certified laboratory, what roles it plays in society, the efforts it must go to remain compliant, and the benefits is discovers by doing so. It also examines the unique laboratory informatics system requirements for these labs, turning to LIMSpec for clues as to what those systems need to do to help such labs better comply to the standard. Additional resources and request for information guidance is also provided. Enjoy! Shawn Douglas (talk) 16:30, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Food Safety 1.svg

First, happy 2023 to you all! With a new year comes a new guide for LIMSwiki, keying in on some of that food and beverage content described in December 2022. Just released is the LIMS Selection Guide for Food Safety and Quality. Similar in vein to the Laboratory Informatics Buyer's Guide for Medical Diagnostics and Research released this time last year, this new guide recognizes the important role the food and beverage laboratory plays in our society towards food and beverage safety and quality, as well as the increasing need for systems like the laboratory information management system (LIMS) to enhance the lab's safety and quality efforts. The guide examines what these labs do, what standards and regulations affect them, and the traits the lab's LIMS should have to best improve the lab's activities. It also provides helpful information about food and beverage LIMS acquisition, including a LIMS requirements specification and information on how to best put it to use. Hope you find it useful.
