WELCOME TO THE OPENNIC WIKI


ABOUT OPENNIC

OpenNIC (also referred to as the OpenNIC Project) is a user owned and controlled
top-level Network Information Center offering a non-national alternative to
traditional Top-Level Domain (TLD) registries; such as ICANN.

Use of OpenNIC DNS servers, enables host name resolution in the Legacy U.S.
Government DNS, OpenNIC operated namespaces, and namespaces that OpenNIC has
peering agreements with.


THIS WIKI

This wiki is a limited access work area for OpenNIC documentation and other
related content. In accordance with OpenNICs philosophy, all notes and documents
are world-readable. Write access is restricted to participants relevant for this
specific project; to provide quality content and have cross-verification by
other members.

To become a registered user, follow the sign-up page here.


HOW YOU CAN HELP

The main thing anyone can do to help, is to become a member. Sign up here and
join our mailing list! The other great thing you can do to help, is to spread
the word, even if you do not use our TLDs, our DNS network is still the quickest
around!

Contributions to the OpenNIC Wiki are welcomed. There is a lot to do: missing
information needs to be added, articles need to be cleaned and rewritten, and
other things. If you are willing to donate your time, as contributions to the
OpenNIC Wiki, you can do this with four simple steps:

 1. Sign up at https://members.opennicproject.org/
 2. Log in (with the username and password you chose during sign up) at
    https://wiki.opennic.org/start?do=login&sectok=
 3. Start writing articles or update existing articles. Currently, there are no
    guidelines in place for writing articles. Feel free to design effective
    pages, conveying information clearly.
 4. Happy editing and a big thank you from the OpenNIC team!


NEED HELP GETTING STARTED?

There are plenty of OpenNIC folks available to help with whatever problem you
may be having with an OpenNIC server, setup to resolve OpenNIC TLDs,
volunteering to set up a Tier 2 server, etc. Please use one of the contact
