The wiki seems to be okay as I look at it now:
http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Networking_FreeDOS_-_mTCP

The wiki is slow, that's true. For a while, I've been planning to move it off 
where it's hosted now (SourceForge shared project hosting) to where I'm hosting 
the main FreeDOS website (Dreamhost). The Dreamhost servers are much faster.

SourceForge has had some unexplained downtime in the last few months, where web 
hosting or database hosting has gone down and didn't tell anyone (a) that it 
was happening or (b) what happened. That might explain what happened when you 
got the "500 error." You can see on their SFNet_Ops twitter that they've 
announced maintenance work, but nothing about outages. 
https://twitter.com/sfnet_ops

So I think I need to get started with moving the wiki to Dreamhost. I think the 
best plan is this:

1. Find a new web name for the wiki (help.freedos.org or docs.freedos.org or 
..?)

2. Set up the new website on Dreamhost

3. Freeze edits on the old wiki

4. Install & configure the wiki software
4a. Copy the databases & files

5. Update links on the website to use the new wiki

6. Decommission the old wiki

7. Re-point "wiki.freedos.org" as an alias to the new wiki (so any links people 
have that go to the wiki don't break)



So, what seems like a good wiki website name? I'm open to ideas.
