It seems to me that it was kind of some trouble that the wiki was hosted by a third party at gentoo. >=20 > What do you think? >=20 The only thing that I can think of, is that given the fact that guix=20 will be soon distributed over gnunet. It makes more sens to have the=20 official wiki also hosted on gnunet and make a copy of it available for=20 reading on the www. Sure it's not done yet, and it needs to be coded. I=20 think that we have all the pieces to make something like that happen.
