Links from original

Was it a conscious choice not to include the links to the primary sources? If not, and you'd like to have them in the page, I'll add it to my ToDo list. --Strypey (talk) 13:33, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

that was probably just an issue of lack of time!! so if possible, yes, it would be great. Thanks so much for all your contributions!!

De nada :) I intend to tidy up the 'porting' of a number of pages from the Disintermedia wiki, and 'retire' the original versions, pointing readers and contributors to the P2PF wiki versions. This will involve ensuring that all information, including links, has been successfully ported to the new page. --Strypey (talk) 05:23, 28 May 2017 (UTC)


thanks for much for the trust in our work and our platform, and for your own original work in compiling all these resources for your own communities, cybrarians of the world, unite <g> !!

I am working on porting over the links. There is a lot of linkrot, and I don't have a working VPN so I can't access some sites because of the Great Firewall. But I will copy over the ones that are definitely working. --Strypey (talk) 15:38, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Changing section structure

Does anyone mind if I change the heading structure to divide (some of) the sections by decade instead of year (eg 1970s, instead of 1971, 1972 etc)? At present, the contents box is *very* long, and there are a lot of headings with very few items under them. --Strypey (talk) 15:33, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Reformat as table

I'm thinking it might make sense to reformat this as a table, to make it sortable by date, name of project, and maybe "genre" categories (free code, networking, open access, file-sharing etc).--Strypey (talk) 17:51, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
