Even though quite a number of researchers have registered, few participate actively. To change this we try to get more students involved and to further expand the database to let it cover a significant part of the empirical literature in economics and possibly other fields.<br>

We also need to fix some technical issues, e.g., with the forms we use so far only one replication can be entered for every original study but [http://replication.uni-goettingen.de/wiki/index.php/Category:Study_with_more_than_one_replication the most interesting studies get replicated more often]. We can display this with a [http://replication.uni-goettingen.de/wiki/index.php/Template:NewReplication%28Boilerplate%29 boilerplate] but the code is too difficult to understand for most users. We plan to solve this with [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms/Defining_forms#Multiple-instance_templates multiple instance templates] and [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Adding_subobjects subobjects]. There is also a [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:Images#Scale_and_place_image_.28slideshow.29_on_main_page bug with the placement of the slideshow on the main page]. And searchability has to be improved significantly because the [http://replication.uni-goettingen.de/wiki/index.php/Special:Ask standard ask form] is not user friendly. We are currently trying to get easily clickable properties on each page with category pages that show where else to find the same values like for [http://replication.uni-goettingen.de/wiki/index.php/Category:Article_methods_and_estimation methods] and [http://replication.uni-goettingen.de/wiki/index.php/Category:Article_software_used software] used. It still would not allow combined searches that are pivotal in order to find studies as researchers need it. That is why we are hoping for a cooperation with a software company that offers an improved search. We use the [http://replication.uni-goettingen.de/wiki/index.php/ReplicationWiki:Community_portal Community portal] to keep track of plans for improvement.
