Overview

The Hypertwin Wiki is a project of The Hypertwins, Woozle and Harena. It is an information-gathering place for their many and varied projects, as well as a point of contact for family, friends (including SluggySquad chatters), and business activities.

In June, HyperTwiki was moved to a shiny new server hosted on Fractured.net; it formerly ran on an ancient 233 MHz Red Hat Linux server which we rented from CI Host for various web projects. It uses the MediaWiki open-source wiki software (Components and versions are shown here) which is fairly easy to install if you have some experience with the target operating system (preferably Linux), PHP, and MySQL.

The wiki is open to anyone to use for any reasonable purpose (see #Editorial Policies, below). In particular, our friends, families, and members of the Sluggy Community are welcome to create an account and contribute content.

Please see the Projects page for projects to which you may wish to contribute.

Editorial Policies

Our editorial policies are someone informal at this point, as there have been no other serious attempts to contribute content. In general, though, content must be either constructive (reasoned, rational, and specific) or aesthetic (fiction, poems, artwork, etc.). Rants may be allowed if they seem relevant. We reserve the right to move submitted articles or subsume multiple contributions into a single page, and to do other similar editing for the purpose of organization and clarity.

Remember, usage of this site is free, and there are no guarantees; if you want to have free rein to determine your own content, you might consider setting up your own wiki. The web account which hosts this site also hosts about a dozen other sites; as a result, the actual hosting for each site costs me less than $1/month.
