Hi Mojka and Everyone, Seems like the ConTeXT Wiki is down again. Judging from the list it would seem this was a regular problem. I'd really like to give back to the community by helping Context Garden grow into a one-stop shopping site for all ConTeXt seekers. Currently, things are a bit too haphazard for my tastes. I think it makes the learning curve harder than it really should be. I'm a Linux system admin, and web developer, so I could help with troubleshooting, upgrades, hosting (have my own shared server), categorizing content, soliciting articles, fleshing out the FAQ, moving some answers from the list archives to the Wiki, creating screencasts and tutorials, and stuff like that. Now would be a good time for me to work on this, as I've been ill and have lots of free time in bed. It would be wonderful to help ConTeXt's bid for world domination by crafting the best experience possible for new and experienced users to find what they need quickly. Please do contact me and let me know how I might be useful. With warmest regards, Corin Royal Drummond San Francisco

The problem is really hosting. For some reason, the machine, a virtual server with approximately 20GB disk space, stops responding to HTTP queries (or SSH, etc.) when the main partition is about 99% full or so. Patrick Gundlach, who runs the server, has already discussed options to migrate it, but the situation has remained the same for the last few months. We have not attempted to diagnose the problem (in case you have any idea ...). Actually, now I think about it, you would certainly be welcome to run a mirror of the Garden in the U.S., since Patrick's machine is located in Germany. This would probably be even better than simply replacing it (and of course still leaves the particular problem to be solved on the German server, but it must have happened three or four times in the past six months, so it's not that terrible either).

if i remember right, taco could provide a bigger vm; in that case mirroring can be part the game ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
