'''Welcome to UUWiki!'''
=== [http://www.3ix.org/ 3ix] ===


UUWiki is dedicated to helping Unitarian Universalists share ideas and work together using a "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki]".  Please add your own expertise by editing these articles and contributing your own.
'''Operating System''' - Linux

'''Features''' - cPanel with Fantastico and a long list of Open Source programs

**[[Social Witness Process Bylaws Changes]] - for vote at GA 2006
*From JoyceD 11/7/2007 - I've used it for 1 1/2 yrs. with several sites and few problems, though it doesn't have a toll free phone number for tech support & sometimes the LiveChat will put in a ticket for tech support via email, I usually get a satisfactory answer to questions within 12 hrs. I wouldn't recommend it if you need faster tech support. I notice that some accounts (on different 3ix computers) have more updated software than others. They also don't have automated bill paying using saved credit card information - they email their annual renewal bill, but they don't take down sites that are late and there's no late fee (up to 10 days or something like that). I see there's a dedicated hate group to them that primarily criticizes their "unlimited bandwidth" - I don't see how any server can truly offer bandwidth that is "unlimited" or space either, though many claim to. The cost per service is very good for those who would like to save money.

To learn more about what a Wiki is, and why vandalism is less of a problem than you may think, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wikipedia page on wikis], or read about [[http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WhyWikiWorks WhyWikiWorks]].
'''Reviews'''
A few pages (like this one) are "protected" to cut down on wikispam.  Use the "discussion page" to ask one of the sysadmins to change this page.
*From JoyceD 11/7/2007 - I have log-in capability on a site that uses it, but I haven't dealt with them directly. I see a lot of people think they're great, but I compared software versions and they're not up-to-date on everything. I believe it's their customer service that gets them top ratings, which includes 24X7 toll free phone support. I have also read some reviews from unsatisfied customers, though.

Interesting starting points for this wiki:
=== [http://www.uusim.net/index.php UUism] ===
* [[Special:Recentchanges]]: see which topics people are currently working on here
* [[Special:Popularpages]]: the most popular pages
* [[Help:Contents]]: help to get you going
* [[Sand box]]: feel free to change this page and experiment with editing
* [[Help:Editing]]: How to make links, lists, headers, etc.
* [[Installation experiences]] and information for administrators.


With this wiki software, there is a "discussion" ("Talk:") page for each normal page.
'''Operating System''' - Linux Fedora Core 4
Normal practice is to try to reflect the current consensus on the actual "article" pages, without
attribution of who contributed what, and to use the "Talk" page (click on the "discussion" tab at the top) to talk ''about'' that consensus, in signed entries.  If you "'''log in'''" (via the link in the upper right - a quick, painless process after initial email confirmation) you can easily sign and timestamp your contributions to talk pages by entering four
tildas in a row: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>


Another good reason to log in, is that you can mark pages you want to keep track of and track
'''Features''' - EnsimPro administrative panel - "comes with Web Site, Subdirectory Access (FTP), Shell Access (SSH) and Email Server Access (POP3)"
updates via '''my watchlist'''.


Please use the [[sand box]] to try things out, rather than creating new test pages.
'''Cost''' - "$48 per year for 25 MB with free setup" (according to site 11/7/2007)

Comparison of services used by UUs

  • From JoyceD 11/7/2007 - I've used it for 1 1/2 yrs. with several sites and few problems, though it doesn't have a toll free phone number for tech support & sometimes the LiveChat will put in a ticket for tech support via email, I usually get a satisfactory answer to questions within 12 hrs. I wouldn't recommend it if you need faster tech support. I notice that some accounts (on different 3ix computers) have more updated software than others. They also don't have automated bill paying using saved credit card information - they email their annual renewal bill, but they don't take down sites that are late and there's no late fee (up to 10 days or something like that). I see there's a dedicated hate group to them that primarily criticizes their "unlimited bandwidth" - I don't see how any server can truly offer bandwidth that is "unlimited" or space either, though many claim to. The cost per service is very good for those who would like to save money.
