About This Website
This website is powered by ikiwiki. This might seem surprising, because it isn't a wiki. However, ikiwiki provides a convenient way to keep a website's content in a version control system, and allows us to use the Markdown text formatting syntax rather than having to write HTML all the time.

webmaster@ox.compsoc.net. Alternatively, if you have an account on
stanley, you can check out the Subversion repository
containing the website content, correct the mistakes you see, and send a patch

website of your home directory on stanley, try:

From your local machine, you can instead try:

replacing username with your username. Feel free to do this even if you don't
want to change anything if you want to see how things are laid out.
If you run Windows, we recommend the TortoiseSVN client for Subversion.
