Hi to all,
Just few notes. The current media wiki is hosted by Christian (mwfc) for free on his server, he is the only one who has the admin access to the server (which is undestandable). So up to now we did not paid anythying for hosting and it was Christian who covered the registrar for our domains (in my name I believe).

I definitely do not like to waste the money but 50-60 eu per year for hosting our media wiki pages and maybe other stuff sounds quite decent to me. What I would like to know is if we install our media wiki again and start to use it (is here by the way someone who can do a really neat and quick job on that?), is here now a reasonable solution how to avoid the spamm craziness which we got recently? Does anyone know some proper captcha etc. which we could set up before even publicly opening/revealing the wiki? Webmind was mentioning some tricks which the Techinc did and I got some info from Noisebridge people but my knowledge may be too limited to safely apply them. Is here anyone who would be OK to take care about that soon? Other part which I'm weak on, how do we "point" to the new wiki? I've to find out if the domain is registred at gandi as my private domain or somewhere else. Once I find out how do we do the installation and "pointing" to the new
 location is the main question. 


If there are too many issues related to the media wiki than we should go for Dokuwiki as soon as possible even if I'm not really in favour. If we do so how stable/long term would be the hosting with you Webmind (if you can still offer on that dokuwiki farm which you mentioned)? Would we have all the admin access necessary to play with the wiki as we need?

Thanks a lot fo the info,

Sincerely,

Me?

I got interested in fhb during the 30C3. I did not attend any of the 
workshops, because I did not know of them – it was my first visit to 
the congress, anyway.  :)

Also I could imagine to help with the incubator as I'm fairly 
experienced in micro controller hardware and software design. And I 
built kind of a simple incubator to help with mushroom growing, several 
years ago.

So, before I dig through the wiki, I might as well migrate the content 
to a new platform. Maybe there are alternatives to MediaWiki nowadays? 
How is the hosting done right now?

Furthermore, I would like to do some experiments manually beforehand 
(pun intended). I found a kimchi recipe in the wiki. How about ginger 
beer?

Sincerely,
