More wiki questions...
I just hate politics, hurt feelings, and other stuff, so I'm asking here first. There's a nice NANOG 40 link on the front of the Wiki, but that's over. I'm thinking it ought not to disappear, but rather move off to a Prior NANOG Meetings (there's some great links to restaurants that I'd hate to see lost, and other useful stuff as well). Then there could be a NANOG 41 link instead (or perhaps a Current Meeting, which would lead off to NANOG 41 for now). It's also my intent to look at the old FAQ, see what's missing in the Wiki (and there are some things, for better or worse, that might be), and put it all in one spot. Then, I really, really, really think that the FAQ ought to go away, to be entirely replaced by the Wiki (which is now far more up to date). Other than some vague grammatical errors, I've done nothing, as of yet. -- Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCvmkxO5hoQ http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/08/media-mole-at-d.html

Rather than being 40 specific, since this is a wiki make it NANOG Meeting and let normal wiki editing/revisions/etc. take over. Then if someone wants to see NANOG 99 they can pull out that revision and the current revision will always be for the next meeting. -Jim P.

Been done - see category past meetings and 'current events'. 39 (toronto) saw serious usage and that one is retaained. I started to try and backfiill some data but folks got up in arms about actually crediting the sponsors [shrug]. Great that people want to talk about the wiki here since attempts to gain traction on nanog-faq list failed.

There's a raft of contradictory stufff that was introduced. NANOG 41 framwork dropped into place aa la 39 and 40. edit away! -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE
Re: More wiki questions...
All, right, on the Too Many Cooks Spoil The Broth theory, I'm going to ask people to please hold off helping me until I have a chance at making a first pass. Even if you think I'm just repeating something that's already been done, please have pity. I'd really like to see a unified whole, and I'm I promise, the second I think it's something that I can live with, I'll come right back here and say so, but for now, consider the copy editor thing that lives within me, and try to let it be. Feel free, on the other hand, to send me as many nagging emails as you like. Not joking, fire away. Except for you, Gwendolynn, wherever you are. You have to be nice. -- Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCvmkxO5hoQ http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/08/media-mole-at-d.html
