The protection formula in the latest DB should work correctly, or at least give a ballpark figure for what the right number is.

The Dom3Wiki may be unavailable for a brief or even longer period of time at the end of the month as I will no longer have the office that I had at college. I'll try to find alternate hosting options and in the worst case, will try to have it running at home.

I miss it already.

Don't worry, it'll be back. I'm aiming to have it back online this week.

I have a free, yet not completely craptastic hosting to offer, if you're interested?

*sniff* please come back, pretty please with a cherry on top

Would porting it to one of those free wiki site work? (Assuming I'm willing to get hit by advertising and so stuff, admittedly a huge undertaking formatting the stuff over) What good free wiki sites are there? I'm only aware of Wikia.

Is it possible to provide your web folder zipped as a download temporarily? I could gradually edit them to a free site in bits and pieces, though my formatting do leave a bit to be desired.

I can host as is. no need for advertisements of any sort. you get your own ftp login and cgi-bin (tho i'll be able to look inside the folders and the db of course).

He has had such offers in the past. He has a login on my shell server and even had root. He did some appreciated work there for awhile.

He might be considering the next evolution. A home server. I hope so. He seems to have covered all the different "jobs" of one individually. We can definitely use some more servers.

Maybe he will consider a synch'd site.

The Wiki is back, in a way, sorry for the wait. I did try to find other hosting options at college or with friends from other colleges, but for various reasons those plans never bear fruit. So now I am indeed hosting it from home, an idea I originally was very opposed to, because while it is a broadband connection it won't be as fast as before and I don't want to hog the available bandwidth whenever I download something. I did have hosting offers, but one thing I care very much about now, after a dozen years of experience as a sysadmin and some unpleasant surprises, is dependability, which by now means that I want to be able to have physical access to the machine when I want to as well. It might be worthwhile to consider transferring the entire site to Wikia, at some point in the future maybe, but I fear that a lot of things then won't make it during the transfer process.

So, this is better than nothing, I guess. Please tell me your experiences of using the site, if this is okay for you or if it is unbearable.
