The puppylinux.org site which is "owned" by 01micko, where someone may ask and get access I hope
I already have complete control of the Puppy Linux Wikka site. puppylinux.org
simply points to https://wikka.puppylinux.com/HomePage
which is obliviously on the same domain and server that the Forum and oldforum (Murga) reside on. At some point there was a suggestion to transfer ownership of puppylinux.org
but I did not do this. I think BarryK has the actual ownership of registered domain puppylinux.org. I have ownership of puppylinux.com
transferred to me from John Muga's widow. I am not sure where the domain name puppylinux.org
actually resides and how the URL is redirected.
and the wikipedia page that it is still stuck in puppy 9.5 from 2020, that EVERYONE can update.
Since I do have complete access to the WikkaWiki which still works but is getting harder to keep it going. I can turn on the user registration functions on the site which at this time are disabled due to excessive spam bots being able to register which began to flood (huge amounts) the Wikka site with spam of all types.
The Wikka software has been discontinued and the entire project retired so there are no more update/upgrades so will not work 100% as the PHP goes to version 8+ from 7.4.+. Wikka was originally written in PHP 5.4+. There is poor support of anti-spam tools up to and including this WikkaWiki software. There is no really effective mechanisms to prevent malicious robot account creation built into this software,
So long, and thanks for all the fish
It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing the end-of-life for WikkaWiki. I have been an active developer with the project for 15 years, and am currently the last of the original devs. A lot has changed in the wiki landscape (and my own life) over the years, and TBH I have not kept up with the changes in the PHP language. In addition, it really doesn't make sense for me to continue offering new functionality for an ever-dwindling audience of WikkaWiki users. To that end, I will maintain ownership of the github repo and related issues database, but it's doubtful there will be any more development. Of course, in the spirit of F/OSS, anyone is free to fork the project and go off in their own direction.
There are 334 registered users currently.
To prevent the spam attacks and then me spending many hours fixing it, I only turn on the new user registration on request and then only for a very limited time.
A database conversion would be necessary to preserve the old information stored in the Wikka and switch to current wiki software.
There has been no request for 2 years for new registration. Some limited editing and new pages have been recently done by one user (coolpup).
coolpup does have a repo here -> http://www.smokey01.com/coolpup/
I almost removed the site completely several times and considered it again until I saw that some activity, though very limited, has been happening.
All of the user names registered should still work.
