Hosting
AlexSchroeder is the administrators of this wiki. It is hosted by Alex in Switzerland.
The first edit (see the first entry of the complete change log for SiteMap was made in 2001-05-14. The Internet Archive Wayback Machine agrees and has a snapshot for 2001-06-09.
The Emacs Wiki is located at http://www.emacswiki.org/. This is a virtual hosting environment, therefore you need to use HTTP/1.1 to access the site.
Backups
Help make distributed backups. This will help us get the wiki back up and running if it goes down. See WikiDownload for more.
A cron job backs the site up on a regular basis. Use the Rsync repository to access our online backup. Contact JonathanGonzalez if you ever need access to the backup and the rsync server is down.
Money
At the moment Alex is paying for the server.
There will not be any ads on emacswiki.org; I hate them myself. If you like the site and want to contribute something, contribute either time or money: Write content, fix typos, clean up pages by removing old discussions, merging and splitting pages, and linking up and down the page hierarchy. If you do not have time, you can always donate money. Show your support by saying on your homepage on this wiki how much you donated to charity because of the Emacs Wiki. That would be awesome. – AlexSchroeder

Wiki Engine
This wiki runs Oddmuse.
- modules installed
- config for Oddmuse
- light.css (source)
- outliner.0.5.0.62-toc.js, a very old piece of Javascript to generate the table of contents, based on h5o-js
Cron jobs:
- one job to run maintenance
- one job to make a backup to the Rsync repository
- one job to push commits to the Git repository
Using a wiki engine written in Lisp or Scheme would have been more in the spirit of Emacs and XEmacs, but Perl is ubiquitous, and Oddmuse is easy to install.
Please note bugs on the Problems page.
