From Zeroasterisk

ZA (AKA Zeroasterisk) is a Community site, administered by Alan and setup with the hopes of allowing friends to post and share and collaborate.

zeroasterisk.com:

• is supposed to be a community project including Alan Blount and others (see userlist)
• supports a blog (weblog) section
  • there is also an old Blogs / News section of this wiki - but i realized that no amount of formatting would turn the wiki into reasonable a blogging system.
• features an extensive photos section, updated/maintained by said community (though I'm thinking about trying to migrate everyone to flickr)
  • the photos section is powered by Gallery (soon to be G2, hopefully)
• has a files and webmail section for select users (request?)
  • note: Google Mail is much better than either
• often links to wikipedia articles
• uses cookies to remeber settings and login (not required for view)
• is a LAMP & MediaWiki & gallery project (Lamp = PHP/Apache/MySQL/Linux)
• on a Debian server, run by Jason Smithson
• can be improved (suggestions?)

Goal

The desired objective of this site is to provide a simple and accessable repository of information/communication on Alan & Anita Blount; as well as anyone else who chooses to contribute to the content of the site (like John).

Basically, I want a fast and simple means of posting and finding information/content. I would like to provide this means for my friends as well. MediaWiki allows for many users and handles the inherint, multiple-user complications quite nicly. --Alan 11:43, 7 Mar 2005 (EST)

Security

• Currently, one must be logged in w/ a user account to edit any page (even the Talk / Discussion pages).
• Anyone can create a user account in 1 simple setup by attempting to login. If I notice any misuse of the site, i will change this.

Content

• The content should be PG-13 rated... well, R-rated is ok, but X rated isn't what this site is about. Take that elsewhere.
• Everything here is public...
  • You shouldn't plagerize nor break copyright.
  • If you post something here, it may be indexed by search engines, copied, quoted, stolen, edited... who knows. Keep your private stuff safe (ie- not here).

Editing

Go ahead. History allows for revision, so edit if you think you will improve things... but please don't "break" things... don't edit without the intention of improving what is already there or adding something new. Be kind.
