<sigh> I'm in the process of moving my LinuxWiki to midphase for
hosting, which should be large enough to satisfy everyone. I agree that
the server is my basement is insufficient for serious use.

My wiki doesn't have that much yet, so it's not a big switchover. In
addition, it's all FDL anyway, so TLDP could just copy it to their own wiki.

The cost isn't a problem. It's $7/mo and I wanted the account anyway to
host my photography site: http://www.backgroundexposure.com/

I guess I'm just frustrated that everybody brushed me off when I first
suggested a general wiki, again when I first got mine running, and again
both times I suggested a DNS CNAME from wiki.tldp.org to
linuxwiki.riverworth.com. Now that it's running and getting a fair
number of hits (to one page, anyway), it's suddenly not good enough.
I was hoping to get wiki.linux.org as a CNAME to it, too, but they also
brushed me off.
