Folks, Does anybody have any recommendations for free Wiki space? I am thinking of maybe wikispaces.org as this looks OK and content is under Creative Commons. I am looking at this for todo for DCCP kernel development and it is a bit detailed, dynamic and hard core for the WLUG website in my opinion... Ian

You are a paid up WLUG member. You could simply install a wiki in your shell account on Hoiho?

In Perry's opinion, it will no doubt be perfect for the WLUG wiki! ;) Greig.
One question then on this if I use WLUG wiki - how often is backup made and is it shipped offsite - would hate to see work lost.... On 12/08/05, Greig McGill <greig(a)hamiltron.net> wrote:

If you do use the WLUG wiki, we do make backups, though I'm not sure of the frequency. We are not responsible for any losses etc though. If you use your own wiki on hoiho, you will be responsible for your own backups. Ditto the disclaimer! ;) G.

The db is backed up daily, and offsite backups are much more irregular - about once every 3 or 4 weeks (done manually), although this is obviously something we need to look at at some stage. (The db is readable by anyone at the moment, so if you had concerns just after doing a large amount of updates you could make your own copy somewhere as well). John

Cool. This is good enough for me and I can always take it off as you say. Well my stuff is about to start shifting now... Ian

DCCP development is something that would be neat for the lug to support in some way :)

Of course! We need more networking/programming content in the wiki!
