This is NOT officially bless and it is old as the site say this is for the community to do it, but I did that in 2004 after I was fed up with all these comments that it should be done. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=110029083800034&w=2 I thought to delete it for many years now but that was an exercise in shut up and hack mentality. Only 2 person step in 15 years to do anything and they did it may be 3 or 4 times. The site is total SHIT!!! But it is there is show how useless all these comments are as talks is cheap, but doing the work, not so much. > I dare to forecast the answer: > If there's a lack of documentation, improve it in-place, send patches. Obviously that wasn't a wiki, 15 years is a long time but it's proven the point everyone talks and no one does the work. > Do not expect anyone to be grateful if you put information out on the > web and misc@ gets the spam because your four year old examples do not > work anymore. Amen. misc@ get a lots of crap and frankly I must admit the devs have a very think skin to take all the sad comments you see on it. I thought many times to delete the site, just kept it for the joke if it I guess. But if anyone was actually serious and I really don;t think anyone is yet after 15 years then it could be changed. I would be more then happy to redo it and host it like this at Equinix in Ashburn Virginia where I have over 125 network peering connections so connectivity is not the issue, doing the work is. If anyone comes with a decent setup that work, I would be more then happy to find it a home and even give some restricted shell access to that person/persons if that's actually serious. But experience has proven it time and time again when the subject come up, it will die soon. Going back under my rock...
