Wiki normally generates pages on demand. However, some select pages are converted to html in a weekly batch process. These pages can be quickly served to readers seeking an overview of popular wiki topics. * http:/ppr/wiki/ -- mirrored wiki pages (more below) * RoadMaps, RecentChanges -- consulted to identify popular pages Readers at distant locations or with slow or expensive internet connections can download a zipped version of each select set of html pages. For example ... * http:/ppr/wiki/ExtremeProgrammingRoadmap/html.zip will retrieve the XP roadmap and the pages it cites, all pre-converted to html and ready to be browsed from a local disk. Use a utility like PKUNZIP (http://www.pkware.com/) or Win''''''Zip (http://www.winzip.com) to install the downloaded files. We encourage operators of websites around the world to download these zips on a regular schedule and serve them to wiki readers in their vicinity so long as they agree to our MirrorTerms. -------- '''North America''' * http://c2.com/ppr/wiki -- Portland, Oregon '''South America''' '''Europe''' '''Asia''' '''Africa''' '''Australia''' * http://linuxcare.com.au/mirrors/c2wiki/ -- Canberra, connected through optus.net.au. ---------- Although sites do not seem eager to mirror wiki, visitors from around the world have found the zip files a convenient way to preview wiki.
