I understand how that'd make you skeptical! The new wiki's content is backed up nightly to my Gmail account (as an SQL dump). I'll be glad to instead send that backup to a Gmail account shared by several of the Vanagon people, so not just one person is responsible. As for the images and other uploaded files, those are backed up irregularly, but I can set it up to send those to Gmail periodically, too. If the new wiki goes down, anyone with Mediawiki should be able to bring it back up fairly quickly, even if I'm not around. Or migrate it to another wiki platform, if necessary. |
