A word of thanks to the Open Source community
Ameliapedia is built almost entirely out of open-source software:
- Fedora 9--the basic operating system on our server.
- Apache--the web server software.
- PHP--the miracle worker that turns unintelligible "scripts" into web pages like this.
- MySQL--a little guy who runs around putting data into storage and finds it again when it's needed.
- MediaWiki--a collection of PHP scripts and related doohickeys the keep the MySQL gnome hopping. MediaWiki is the software engine that powers Wikipedia. If there were no Wikipedia, there would be no Ameliapedia.
- Ward Cunningham, the man who created the first wiki--WikiWikiWeb in 1995.
We are deeply indebted to the work of countless amazingly talented men and women who have given generously of their time and talents to make this site possible.
