Hi, I have just remembered that the NetBSD-userwiki is offline for quite a while now and I didn't find any discussions or attempts to bring it fully functional back online. There were several offers to host it, but I think it's obvious you can't give the database just to 'anybody'. Though wiki.netbsd.se now points to wiki.netbsd.org, the discussion about letting users contribute content is rather small and incomplete, in any way without result. So, what will happen now? The .org-wiki seems to be developer-only furthermore, and for five months there is no editable user-wiki. At least none that could be found via google within the first fifty results. Is there any approach towards a new functional user-wiki for NetBSD? I see four possibilities: * The user-wiki will be linked to TNF and somehow hosted by them. Then you would be just in need of a good strategy, time and people willing to do it to bring it back online. * The user-wiki will be implemented as part of the developer-wiki on netbsd.org, which doesn't seem that favoured. * The user-wiki will be hosted by a company that is good-willed towards NetBSD and will last for a few years. This would then be financed by a company and dependent on them, but administrated from the NetBSD-side. This is clearly * The user-wiki will be hosted by a user or a destined group of users and administrated by users. In that case, this single entity is spof for the whole wiki. Not depending on the solution, storage-, traffic- and load-statistics of the old wiki and the growth rate would be interesting for anybody who wants to work an a new solution. Is this data available somewhere or can be achieved? Public availability would help anyone who is interested in helping building a new wiki. If this discussion was already made or is actually happening on another list I'm not subscribed, please let me know, then this thread is clearly redundant. Anyway, I think netbsd-users is the right list for the user-wiki. Regards, Julian Fagir
