The gentoo wiki was maintained by an individual who managed to lose
the entire thing in a server crash and not have any backups. An object
lesson in "how to do throw away a ton of other people's time and
knowledge with as little effort as possible, while simultaneously
doing a small lobotomy to the world mind".

wiki.gentoo.org would be the most sensible place - it might be backed
up independently by more than one person that way - but it's
username-password locked even for reading, which completely defeats
the point of a technical wiki in open-source world.
