Should we ask for real names to go with accounts, when people apply? (This is not for the 'account name - people can use pretty much whatever they want, there.) [http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctalk/ Classic computer people] mostly use their real names (maybe because we're old-fashioned :-). I like knowing who people really are; the anonymity of Wikipedia has always irked me. But if people want to allow anonymous editors here, I'd be OK with that.

Backup/mirror?

I think Tore might have an automatic backup running, but I'm not sure. The problem with archive.org is that it might save the articles, but I'm not sure about the history.
The big concern along these lines, for me, is that Tore runs the whole thing 'out of his back pocket', as the expression in English goes. So if he is crossing the street and gets run over by a truck, we're SOL at the moment: the DNS entry, hosting, etc are all in his name.
