                Welcome to the Computer History Wiki!

This is the Computer History Wiki ('CHWiki', for short), a knowledge
base about historic computers which anyone can join in order to edit!

  (Due to past problems with spam, anonymous editing and automatic
 account creation have had to be disabled; you'll have to contact an
                admin to get an account - see below.)

                Currently, we've got 1,747 articles!

Need Ideas?

If you're not sure what to add,
the Wanted pages page is always a
good place to start! Right at the
moment, two Apple II pages are top
of the list. So if you have any
expertise there, please weigh in!

The other thing you could do is
fill out a stub article. (These
are articles that need improving,
by having more information added
to them. They're a perfectly good
start for a great article, they
just haven't grown up yet.) You
can find a list of them here. Jnc

Admin Services

Tore has added me to the admin
group, and I have considerable
experience as an admin on
Wikipedia, so if anyone needs
anything which requires admin
status (e.g. merging histories for
duplicate articles, deleting
article names with typos, etc,
etc) please let me know. Jnc (talk
