All people with accounts on ibiblio! PG site moving to wiki
I'm moving the static part of the PG site to a wiki. This will allow more people to participate in the site maintenance and improvement. Everybody who currently has shell access on ibiblio should stop editing the html pages and transfer their content to the wiki instead. The wiki will soon replace most of the PG site, except for the online catalog and a few other pages. The wiki can be reached at: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/ 1. Currently all new users have to be added by a sysop (me). If you speak wiki and want an account, mail me your username and initial password. You will be added to the "gutenberg" group. 2. The wiki has a 'private' section. All pages starting with "Gutenberg:" are editable by the "gutenberg" group only. This will be the 'official' PG site. 3. The rest of the wiki works just like wikis are supposed to work. You may put it to any use you like that helps "producing and distributing ebooks". -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Marcello and all. The idea of a wiki is a great one! The only problem I have with it is that it is really slow. How are you planning on dealing with that? Perhaps a daily static dump of the Gutenberg Namespace could be made and visitors could be referred to that. Updates wouldn't show up immediately, but it might not matter in most cases. Again, thanks for setting this up! It will make updating pages much easier.

ibiblio is slow currently. They say they are moving to new servers at the end of summer. That may alleviate the problem. Currently only about 4% of requests are accessing the pages we are going to put on the wiki. Also, MediaWiki is slower if you are logged in. If you are not logged in, most pages will come out of the page cache. Of course, the page cache will not fill before the public starts using the wiki. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
