OpenSSL Wiki

KT Klaus Triendl Public Seen by 22

What's the status of the wiki? Is it still intended to be used?

I'd like to update FireDaemon Technologies' information about its binary distribution.

The problem is that I am currently unable to edit any page, because I tried to change my email address in the preferences section.

The confirmation code never arrived - because the PHP mail function returned an error.

Also I see there's no possibility to create a new user.

Kind Regards,
Klaus Triendl

I asked Matt for an account on the Wiki and the email with my temporary password is in limbo somewhere. I've emailed the person who manages it to see if there's a server that's fallen over or some such. I'll let you know when I have more details.

Thanks for the report!

@Matt Caswell @Jaroslav Reznik Is there any news in this regard?

The wiki should still be working, and the binaries page should still be relevant and kept up to date. It seems like something is broken. Hopefully @Jon Ericson can chase this up.

Unfortunately email broke on the Wiki server. That means it's currently not possible to get a password to create a new account or (as you noticed) get a confirmation email for an address change. It's on the list to be fixed, but there's no timetable yet. It might need to wait for the 3.5 release to be completed.

Far and away the most important page on the wiki is the Binaries page. I'm exploring an alternative home for that page. Ideally we'll be able to increase the number of potential editors.
