Purpose

The Webmastering WG is responsible for maintaining the 4 main websites for the OpenNIC project:

Indirectly, we are also the historians for the group, responsible for preserving the history of OpenNIC and ensuring continued access to OpenNIC artifacts by people who may be interested. Historical links and other artifacts can be found in the OpenNICArchives archives.

www.opennicproject.org

Where: http://www.opennicproject.org

Info: This site is intended to be a static page with one main purpose: Introduce people to the OpenNIC project so they can apply a step-by-step process and start using the alt-root via OpenNIC.

www To Do Notes:
CHRISTOPHER: I emailed Julian about changing the apache config so until then the REFRESH hack stays.

Wiki

Where: http://wiki.opennic.glue ... also ... http://opennic.jdcomputers.com.au

Info: The Wiki is the Developers/Admins site. "This is where we make the medicine." -- Scare Crow

Currently, the wiki is hosted by Julian (thanks!) and is maintained by both Julian and Brian; Avo has sudo-access. The wiki is powered by WikkaWiki, and is open for contributions from all interested parties. Questions about the wiki can be directed to either Julian or Brian. Brian is active on the wiki development team.

Wiki To Do Notes:
ToDo - We are working towards moving some of the more important historical OpenNIC artifacts (charters, TLD information, etc.) over from various sources. At the same time, new content is being added daily. By clicking the RecentChanges Changes link you can see the most recent page revisions and additions. There is also an RSS feed available on this page.
ToDo - I (Brian) has an almost complete archive of the opennic-discuss mailing list from 2000 (the year of OpenNIC's inception). GMANE appears to be missing some early emails. I am working towards making this archive publicly available.
gmane appears to have a complete archive, will have to verify...
