This wiki

This is an Oddmuse wiki.

This will probably always be under some form of construction.

This weblog + wiki is running on Oddmuse. It is heavily inspired by Alex Schroeder's setup who developed Oddmuse. This wiki is served by an Apache webserver on a Linode instance.

Why Oddmuse? I like the concept of a wiki, and it seems like the sort of place one could share a mixture of interconnected notes, and progressively improve them or let them be. Odddmuse is relatively easy to setup, deploy and use. I like the general ease of creating and collecting pages with tags and searches. Beyond all this, the EmacsWiki runs on oddmuse ;)

It functions as my blog and wiki, and is a social and technical experiment of sorts to maintain a wiki and publish content that forms a hyperlinked garden - a Zettelkasten of my own, propelled by Emacs and Howm.

Hat tip to bandali on #emacs for directing me towards Oddmuse. Visit #oddmuse on Libera to talk to AlexSchroeder, AlexDaniel?, CapnDan and others who created + drive the development and use of Oddmuse.

I also have a static hugo site at https://shreyas.ragavan.co up at the moment. The idea is to port over content to this wiki.. atleast for now, and well, at some point maybe dig up and finish a draft about the history of my web presence.

Notes for posterity

• The license above was initially adapted from Emacs Ninja site. The author of the website also pointed me towards Audio/Video - GNU Project - Free-Software Foundation where a similar CC BY-ND license was used. It made sense to me that I would prefer being asked before derivatives or remixes are made to content that I publish.
• The GPL V3 was chosen (over the more permissive MIT or other licenses) because I like the general idea of being able to assert a copyright, but also support the freedom for others to use it.
• The above (as with any personal opinion and preference expressed on this site) may change in the future as I learn more about licenses and my perspectives change.
