+=== FreeBSD Wiki
+
+Links: +

+
+The FreeBSD wiki is a repository of information that does not fit well in the link:https://docs.freebsd.org/en/[official project documentation] because it is too specific, too disparate, or too transient.
+
+==== Current projects:
+
+Mark Linimon has started attacking various stale pages.
+The focus has been on pages that we show to new, interested, users.
+(Recent Foundation newsletters refer to some of these pages directly.)
+Unfortunately, many of these pages have become stale, to the point where they were actually not good recommendations.
+
+The pages that have received the most work are:
+
+* link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage[IdeasPage] (referenced in Foundation documentation)
+* link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/JuniorJobs[JuniorJobs] (referenced in Foundation documentation)
+* link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCodeIdeas[SummerOfCodeIdeas]
+* various pages under link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/CategoryProject[CategoryProject]
+* various pages under link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/CategoryTodo[CategoryTodo]
+* link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/MentorMatch[MentorMatch]
+
+In addition to removing obviously stale entries, all entries have now been datestamped with the time that they were added to the various pages.
+link:mailto:wiki-admin@freebsd.org[wiki-admin@] would like to request that we carry forward this tradition into the future.
+
+As well, link:mailto:wiki-admin@freebsd.org[wiki-admin@] has been sending email to ask committers/contributors to the above pages "should we keep this entry?"
+This task will continue until the pages have been cleaned up.
+
+(NB: the fact that content in the wiki was stale was mentioned by numerous respondents in the FreeBSD Foundation 2024 Community Survey Report.)
+
+==== Previous plans that have stalled
+
+Plans are still underway to familiarize our audience on Discord with the wiki (there are too many "silos" in our FreeBSD community).
+The team has simply not had enough cycles to do this.
+However, contact Setesh on the FreeBSD Discord for more information.
+
+Preliminary work was being done on updating the wiki software itself.
+Earlier, we were looking at switching implementations because MoinMoin development seemed to have stalled, leaving us with an unwanted hanging python2 dependency.
+However, MoinMoin now claims that they are nearing a 2.0 release.
+We have not yet tried an install of their latest beta version to test compatibility.
+Testers welcome.
