If you are on the committee and wish to admit the fact publicly, leave your name here!
You can perform a very useful service by becoming part of this wiki's backup system.
A Bit of Explanation
Every time a page is edited, renamed or deleted, a backup copy of the page - as it was before it was altered - is automatically emailed to a special email address. This address is not just a person, it is a mailing list. So, if you belonged to this mailing list, you would receive a copy of this backup.
What would it involve for me?
- You would receive potentially quite a few of emails, probably in bursts. Some knowledge of how to sort and file incoming emails automatically would therefore be useful (very easy with most email software).
- You would be encouraged to reverse an inappropriate edit/rename/delete if you spotted one, by copying and pasting from the backup (or in the case of a renaming, by just re-renaming).
- Even if you never intervened like this, at least you would provide the security of an extra repository for backup pages.
- As with any good mailing list you could unsubscribe at any time.
