I have added links on the Sidebar and on the Documentation page to the listing of FDS-SMV Wiki pages. Take a look at the updated Documentation page for a little note on the purpose of the Wiki pages. These have been available on the project site for some time, but now it will be a little easier for new and existing users to find them.
Also, we are in the process of building another bundle for FDS and Smokeview. This will be the first bundle release since FDS_5.0.0. More news on that soon... This is also a good time to take a look at any outstanding Issue Tracker posts you may have open and see if they have been resolved to your satisfaction.

Latest news for FDS-SMV development...
It has been too long since my last post. For that I apologize, as we have been very busy behind the scenes getting everything ready for the Official release of FDS and Smokeview version 5.
This month has been very productive and we have finally conquered the last big bugs in the RC releases. What does this mean to you? Well, in short, it means that we are now putting the finishing touches on the FDS_5 package before official release. Yes, that's right... the next release will be the official one! We are probably more excited than you are. :^)
In the meantime, if there are things you would like to see added to the user's guide, or example's of certain functionality added to the Verification Suite, please submit the request to the Issue Tracker.
One last thing... The Official FDS-SMV website will be moving to a .gov top level domain name soon. The fds-smv.net domain will still be used for the Google Code site, the Discussion Group and the Weblog. But the website will not be www.fds-smv.net much longer. Hopefully this is the last change to the website URLs. For the curious, it is because I maintain the site in an official capacity and is part of our mission and therefore must be .gov. It will look a little different, yet familiar, as I am taking this as an opportunity to add in a few special features.
Best Regards,
Bryan Klein

FDS-SMV Website Statistics...
As you can see from the new International Resources page on the website, there is a lot of interest around the world in FDS and Smokeview. I am happy to see that people are willing to help each other make FDS and Smokeview more accessible to others.
But, just how much international interest is there you ask...?
Well, I have been using Google Analytics to track website activity and have just posted a nice PDF summary of the visitors from 77+ Countries visiting the website. The report covers the time from April 26th, 2007 (when I enabled the tracking), until yesterday July 2rd, 2007.
Here is the link to the PDF report: http://www.fds-smv.net/VisitorsByCountry.pdf
It is interesting to see where visitors are coming from, how long they stay, what pages they are spending the most time on, etc. I will be using some of this information to further enhance the quality and quantity of information on the site.
As a side note, you will notice a fairly high bounce rate. This is basically when someone leaves the site from the same page they started on. On the FDS-SMV website. this is by design. We are trying to make pages that are on topic and complete so that a visitor can get to any information they need on the page they visit (typically the homepage) and can move on from the site in less than 2 clicks. My goal is to have a visitor come to the site, find what they need quickly and then go get some real work done. From these initial statistics, it seems that my plan might be working.
Finally, I want to take a second to recognize all our our international visitors, and thank you for being a part of the FDS-SMV community, your presence and support is welcome.
