I already have test.freedos.org that is usually empty - but right now is hosting a "test" copy of a new iteration of the website. That seems like a good place to set up a new wiki, before I push it to an official new wiki.freedos.org hosted on Dreamhost. I'll push ahead on the website update so I can work on the wiki next. Jim
