Notes

  • Nasa wiki can only be accessed by Nasa. Need an external server

  • https://enterprisemediawiki.org/demo/index.php/Special:Version
    • There is an external server that kiwix should have access to that is roughly configured like the nasa versions
    • We could create a second wiki on this server with the same config as NASA wikis but import space pages from Wikipedia for content
