==== Splash Page ====
Initial version of a splash page for wikivet.net as has been constructed. It will allow users to choose which language they want to access wikivet from and then remember their selection. This will allow users to navigate to wikivet.net but then automatically be pushed to the localised version of their choice. Currently designed mainly as a proof of concept and test for enabling cookies.

WikiVet made read-only and database migrated into new centralised system. Spanish and English wikis pointed to central database. Dada Mail pointed at new database.
