Open Sourcing the Content of OpenSource.radio
The content created by the community in OpenSource.radio is of course also open source. However, the content in the form of raw data in DokuWiki format could previously only be viewed and downloaded in a roundabout way. The latest article in the Zero Retries newsletter gave me food for thought with the following section:
“While this article is within the semi-authoritative easy to find Wikipedia… the OpenSource.radio Wiki seems to be the better project for contributing one’s efforts to document the many open source projects within Amateur Radio that have been developed over the decades. We’re just going to have to figure out how to insure its survival as an information database - at a minimum, regularly “snapshotted” by Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine and perhaps regular mirroring to other sites.”
I then came up with the following solution to the problem: A script is automatically executed once a day, which then writes all changes or new content of the wiki to a public Git repository. Normally I would use my own Git server for this, but it runs on the same server as OpenSource.radio. Therefore I decided to use a repository on Github, which can be found here: https://github.com/DK1MI/opensource.radio
