How is this being financed?
+	There is no such thing as a free lunch, right?

We are financed by donations and all of our payments are stored here. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 12:15, 6 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the quick explanation. It might be good to explain more of this in the FAQ. SeekTruthFromFacts (talk) 12:22, 6 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree. I'm missing "Who are you?", "Why are you doing this?" and "How are you financing this?" on the FAQ. Those are the first three questions I ask when someone is providing a free-of-charge service. ClaesWallin (talk) 16:22, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * This is for the founders to decide/add. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 14:24, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Private wiki: main page readable/editable by anonymous user
I just registered a private wiki with you, however, I noticed that the main page is readable and editable by anonymous users. How can I disable both? Is it through you Request features page? Thanks. Shadi
 * Hi, this is expected behavior. You can protect the main page here, and if you want a private main page you could look at this design. OfficeWiki has a publicly readable main page, which links to the 'actual, private main page' and has a link to login to the wiki. Southparkfan (talk) 09:47, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

 * The donation question is already in FAQ and I have added the backup question. For the other two I am not sure, therefore I cannot give a definitive answer. Somebody else will have to answer that. --Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 13:40, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

RobertSter (talk) 14:06, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Can we get a more detailed answer about backups? It seems like we should be automating the process on an opt in basis. Could we have a discussion about the needs for backup somewhere as well?
 * The answer in the FAQ is more or less accurate as-is. We are not going to be automating wiki backups at this stage, it will remain manual. Backups are not stored off-site as there is no need to for simple useless (in our context) XML backups. We're not going to be investing in things which are not necessary to the running, security and redundancy of the entire operation. John (talk) 17:21, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
