Looks like RocWiki is officially dead

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Rochester

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Gollum

    A simple, Git-powered wiki with a local frontend and support for many kinds of markup and content.

  • Rey appears to be active on another (relatively obscure) social media network and has quietly abandonded the RocWiki project. Your efforts would be better spent parsing the wayback archive for content and migrating it to something like gollum that essentially uses github/gitlab pull requests to edit the upstream "wiki" with OAuth support for non-github user accounts. RocWiki was barely maintained over recent years (pandemic notwithstanding) and it's the long-term nature of volunteer projects like this. Migrating small projects like this into something like github to host as much of it in "The Cloud" as possible is the best way to preserve it. You would still be on the hook for domain and read-only server costs though.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
