Andrew and I were talking Saturday night about a continuation of the existing netrek development wiki and he had mentioned that he was moving the bits that he was making us of over to some ad-based free wiki on the web somewhere. I made him the offer of hosting a free mediawiki instance for his use, and after I went to the trouble of securing it from spambot idiocy I mentioned to him that I'd be happy to host it as a general netrek wiki that could have an area devoted to development issues. What I've put together is on a VPS I have in a datacenter in the Building of the Americas in Philidephia, PA USA; dual-homed off of Global Crossing and Level-3; running the latest version of MediaWiki (same base wiki codebase as wikipedia uses; secured to prevent spambot idiocy as best as possible. Data is backed-up nightly and shipped off-site and in the event of an emergency I can roll-out another instance elsewhere in a matter of minutes. If people are still interested in this and want to take me up on the offer please respond here. John -- "I'm sorry but our engineers do not have phones."
