Alas, I was persuaded by the argument that it&#8217;s too complicated to have a wiki mirrored at multiple locations, so I should really choose one&#8212;and ideally it should be someplace where I retain control of the files, in case anything goes wrong again. Following the helpful directions of Eric Price, I set up a MediaWiki installation at <a href=\"http:\/\/scottaar.scripts.mit.edu\/zoo\/index.php?title=Main_Page\">http:\/\/scottaar.scripts.mit.edu\/zoo<\/a>. Is anyone interested in helping me transfer over the content from the qwiki Zoo?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Update (August 1):<\/strong><\/span> Thanks to the efforts of Gopal Sarma at Stanford, the Zoo is back up and running!! \u00a0However, I believe the only long-term solution is to get the Zoo mirrored at other locations. \u00a0I can then direct the domain complexityzoo.com to point to any of them that are currently up. \u00a0So, to all of those who volunteered to mirror the Zoo: thanks so much, and please go ahead and do so! \u00a0Let me know what you need for that (I can ask Gopal to get the source files).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>As some of you have noticed, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.complexityzoo.com\">Complexity Zoo<\/a>\u00a0(well, don&#8217;t bother clicking the link!) has been down for the past couple weeks. \u00a0Some Stanford students volunteered to host the Zoo years ago but then graduated, and these sorts of outages have been a frustrating reality since then. \u00a0So my co-zookeeper Greg Kuperberg and I are looking for a volunteer to help us get the Zoo back online. \u00a0The reward? \u00a0Eternal gratitude and a co-zookeeper title for yourself. \u00a0In principle, I could host the Zoo on my Bluehost account, but I don&#8217;t know how to set up the wiki software, and I&#8217;m not even sure how to retrieve the Zoo pages prior to its going down (Google Cache?). \u00a0If you&#8217;re interested or have ideas, leave a comment or send me an email.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update (August 5): Sorry for the delay!
