Everyone, This morning it was brought to my attention that the Umax Astra 1220U WikiWeb on SourceForge had "disappeared".
I had made it a point to dump the contents of the WikiWeb periodically so I could recover it it case someone on the outside vandalized it, but those backups are gone too. The only explanation I've found is that someone must have run an "rm -rf *" from a cgi-script on SourceForge. This wipes out all files owned by "nobody", i.e. all files owned by the webserver (which included my dumps). I've asked to see if the SourceForge could recover it off tapes, but I don't think they will be able to do it (apparently they are not set up to be able to do so). So, regretfully, the loss is total. If you contributed to the WikiWeb to in the past, please let me know if you had any offline copies of your postings. For now I don't recommend adding new content to the existing WikiWeb. I am going to request that a database be set up for the project so we can use that as the storage for the WikiWeb (which is a lot safer) Marcio Luis Teixeira
