7 years ago Our intention is to serve the json from a cdn and then offer small revisions to the javascript in this repo for rendering it as needs arise. The json represents the historic artifact. You are welcome to devise other means of rendering it but I discourage you from download all json pages as they are not yet complete as noted elsewhere in these issues.

7 years ago That definitely works for me, is that JSON available publicly yet? I'd like to set up a basic static site generator for it. Perhaps I can make it request only the JSON for pages requested, and then only when the TTL of the cached copy has run out.
I'm assuming the JSON files are dynamic because it's a wiki, shouldn't that make it OK for me to get some broken ones? I'll have to set up my server to sanely cache and re-request the JSON anyway.
Edit: typos

6 years ago Is there no static site remaining anymore? I'm sad to see the c2 wiki app-ified. :-(
wiki.c2.com used to load very quickly and work with JS disabled, but now it doesn't. It loads slow (~7 seconds), I see a spinning wheel of death, it doesn't seem to cache pages, and I have to spend time whitelisting it in uMatrix (I don't run scripts normally).
Do you have plans for a version that works without scripts, perhaps just read-only?
A few groups of users that would benefit from this:
If not, could you provide a method of downloading an archive of the wiki, so there is a way of reading the wiki without scripts?
No offense intended, I like the idea of the federated wiki (and the more general exploration of web decentralization) and love its content, I just want to read it in HTML/XHTML/JSON/TXT/YML or any other format that does not require me to run unknown code and patch together the page on-the-fly.
