I suppose the annual wiki conferences fill that gap a little?
Sunir, thanks for the heavy lifting and all that you continue to do for the greater wiki community. We missed doing a tenth anniversary but I think we do need a world wide wiki day. Much appreciated, John, John DeBruyn, Denver CO USA
Ok, I've recovered MeatballWiki as of August 2. There is a page to coordinate recovery efforts. This is the fastest I can work from the road. I apologize.
Please help restore the missing pages if you can.
Best, Sunir
