David Cary: electronics designer by day, wiki editor by night.

David Cary is a wiki admin on several wiki, including
 * http://OpenCircuits.com, hosted on DreamHost since 25 January 2006‎.
 * http://distributedwiki.com/, hosted on DreamHost since 2014-Apr-02.
 * http://wikiindex.org/

David Cary wants to build a wiki with no single point of failure. So that when any one device is unplugged, people can at least continue to read the content of wiki (and ideally continue to edit and improve the contents of the wiki). Does this requires a distributed wiki? How to redirect people away from the unplugged webserver(s) and toward the plugged-in webserver(s)?

It makes David sad that every day a few wiki go offline and are lost forever. What else can anyone do to preserve human knowledge?

(Should David put the "category: wiki admin" on this page because David is a wiki admin somewhere, or should David leave it off since David is not an admin of this DreamHost wiki ?)
