schestowitz> extensive github research with tinycore-- will likely choose wiki over article form.Apr 13 05:34
schestowitz>Apr 13 05:34
schestowitz> the wiki isnt being updated as much, though the research is moving a lot faster than the documentation. i dont feel too bad about that, since i spent the better part of a week on documenting everything ive got so far.Apr 13 05:34

schestowitzYesterday was CRAAAAAAAY....Apr 13 05:34
schestowitzWe were reeling to move to containers and eventually separated out the database out, which was a step forward. We still have some work left to do, but the site  is in tact and information 100% preserved.Apr 13 05:34
schestowitzSorry for being late to reply lately.Apr 13 05:34
schestowitzNow I need to get my proper appetite back.Apr 13 05:34
schestowitzThe wiki pages tend to get more views than articles in the long run because there are fewer of them and they're connected differently. The wiki is good for pages which you know in advance will change over time.Apr 13 05:34
