Warren,

    I'm excited about www.tuhs.org as a MediaWiki.  In my spare time, I have been working on graphics and other anecdotes in celebration of UNIX turning 40.  Some time ago I answered a post on TUHS regarding my idea of a site as a birthday tribute.  I have reserved a number of domains and am working on just that.  Much of the materials I have collected would also work very well on TUHS Wiki.

I applied for access earlier today.  Let me know where you need help.  Also, as I mentioned in an earlier post, we developed and maintain the UNIX books list on groklaw's site.  See groklib.anteil.com.

Cheers,

Jim

How about a wiki-like website for Unix, which is a combination of an
anecdote Wiki and a Wikipedia-for-Unix? Comments?

Alternatively, someone could host a MediaWiki installation.
    

OK, I've switched the TUHS website www.tuhs.org to be a mediawiki. Right
now I have seeded the site with a few pages, but as with all wikis,
we need a whole bunch of people to upload content. So if you have any
anecdotes, or electronic documents, or any other Unix-related information,
then please join the wiki and add it in!

To join the wiki, click on the 'log in' link on the top-right, and then
click 'request account', which will prep the account and wait for me to
authorize it.

At the moment, I have created a small set of page categories, listed
below.  If you can think of any other categories, feel free to edit
http://www.tuhs.org/wiki/Wiki_Categories

Cheers & thanks in advance for participating!

	Warren
