I've been hosting MediaWikis for a few years, but with notoriously little customization.  How about everyone that's interested in participating in administering and setting up the Wiki shoot me an email, and I'll go create a mailing list for subsequent administrative conversations.  We can figure out who will host it, etc, so we don't abuse the Gerry list for this. :)

Vanagonwiki.net was/is the domain. Who has that?

The Wayback Machine contains the text of the main page (www.vanagonwiki.net). Are you a wiki guy and can bang up a starting point? Someone here said that there were some articles w/o illustrations that he'd found, those should be re-posted, too.

I don't know if I'll have the gumption to re-do my solar and aux batteries pages, though. There was a lot of work and research there.

This discussion can be taken to p-mail once the few folk who want to participate in the reboot make themselves known.
