[TUHS] www.tuhs.org now a MediaWiki

[jcapp@anteil.com (Jim Capp)]

Warren,

    I'm excited about www.tuhs.org as a MediaWiki.  In my spare time, I 
have been working on graphics and other anecdotes in celebration of UNIX 
turning 40.  Some time ago I answered a post on TUHS regarding my idea 
of a site as a birthday tribute.  I have reserved a number of domains 
and am working on just that.  Much of the materials I have collected 
would also work very well on TUHS Wiki.

I applied for access earlier today.  Let me know where you need help.  
Also, as I mentioned in an earlier post, we developed and maintain the 
UNIX books list on groklaw's site.  See groklib.anteil.com.

Cheers,

Jim
