It is Monday, November 25, 2024.

  • Email features are now available. The system does not work with Gmail yet and probably some other email providers. You can set it so birocapedia emails you when various things happen like if someone leaves you a message. Go to your preferences page (the link is in the top right) to enable them. Email is not quite ready yet.
