Team Wikis Now Thawed - Re-Freeze and Archive on December 13
Team wikis for 2019 teams are now temporarily thawed, and will be re-frozen and permanently archived on December 13, 2019 at 11:59 PM EST. Teams should take this time to edit and update their wiki pages with project results, corrections, etc.
Once wikis are archived, all future changes must be processed through iGEM HQ. Changes will take some time to process, so make sure that you are comfortable with personal information and photos being available online for the foreseeable future.
