Welcome to the CompSci.ca Wiki

This Wiki is for anything relating to Computer Science, the site CompSci.ca, any technology-related stuff, or anything you want that is within reason. It is free to edit for everyone as long as they respect others and the site. We welcome any new pages you can think of, or anything you can add to our existing ones (incuding this one!). This wiki is for the users of CompSci.ca; it is up to you to add or update the content of this wiki!

CompSci.ca Current News

Big updates are coming over the x-mas break, starting with new software being installed on the server like this wiki, a compsci.ca blog, and much more. However, due to these upgrades, the site may be down for some time during the break. Hopefully everything will go over well and we will have a brand new version to come back to in the new year.

In other news, there are several viruses going around that may slow down the site, especially relating to the mail server. The first one affects phpBB installs and is slowing down the site searching for exploits. Although this virus cannot actually harm the site due to our scripts, its attempts could slow us down a bit. The second is yet another e-mail based virus which is overwelming our host's mail server, making all e-mail based activities on our site delayed up to a few hours.
