The Internet Speculative Fiction Database

This is the staging server for the ISFDB. This server runs features that are broad in scope, and generally too risky to run on the main server, or impossible for multiple people to test on a home server. The kinds of projects that could be running here include updating LAMP stack components, moving to Python3, mobile support, moving charsets to unicode, and UI redesign. This server may be unstable, and data entered here will be lost.
