OS Central

Hello!

I have stared a Wiki entitled OS Central (http://os-central.sourceforge.net/mwiki/). It is currently hosted by SourceForge.

There are two major goals that I would like to achieve.

1. To become an in-depth wiki like Wikipedia, but only covering a limited amount of topics (Open Source Operating System related [what the OS in OS Central stands for]).
2. To have detailed How-tos and guides like that of The Linux Documentation Project, but that is under the GPL Free Document License and freely editable.

Currently (as of this post) there are about 16 true content pages (originally copyed from Wikipedia), and one registered user (me). If anyone would like to help, I would deeply appreciate it. If you can; become a registered user and start contributing!

THANK YOU!!!

How would you like to know when the next version of the Linux kernel is going to be released? Well, I think I have devised a way of at least calculating when It should arrive, given the current average in time between releases. And if the prediction is off, then it can be interpreted that the release is slower or faster than average. (link to page)

These are the dates of future releases (*predictions*)
2.8.0 - May, 4 2006
2.6.10 - Jan, 14 2005
2.4.29 - Feb, 18 2005
2.0.41 - Jan, 24 2006

While your there you can check out the main site. There are about 27 pages. If you can start a new page or edit an existing one.

*note: originally most of the pages were edited copies of wikipedia pages. You can use wikipedia as a start for new pages; or a guide to update old pages.

Your server is very slow.

Yes I know. The site is hosted by SourceForge; And is using MediaWiki, which I think is stresing out SourceForge's MySQL server! (they likely have alot of other hosted sites that are using their MySQL server)!

Ah, that makes sense. Seems like an ambitious goal, and I wish you luck. If I have extra time (kinda big if for the mean time) I'll probably contribute.

Yeah dude, get it off of sourceforge. There's really cheap hosting out there that's much better than sourceforge, especially for a website that uses the database so much. You may even be able to find someone who is willing to donate free hosting.
