The OpenNIC community regards individuals and their resources as important, but not essential. The community and its activities are not vulnerable to an absence of any single individual or their resources.

Accordingly, the OpenNIC community uses the following servers for member and public communications. Distributed backups and repositories are being established.

The wiki provides a collaborative environment for working groups. Also, it serves as a lightweight forum for providing "realtime" reporting of various OpenNIC metrics.

The blog provides a focal point for sharing news and discussions among a wider audience.

The mailing list provides for a far more dynamic environment for communications then the others, and continues its legacy role of being the single "official" mediam for important announcements.

And this website provides a "quick reference" index to OpenNIC with a very flat (i.e., one or two links deep) representation. It also has the potential to host vites, a helpdesk, and other useful community tools.
