Ask an existing editor on our Flickr group if you’d like to have an account on the wiki. If you know how to use MediaWiki sites (like Wikipedia), you’ll feel right at home editing here because uses the same software.

And we’re also always on the look out for volunteers to help with the site content. So, if you find useful, please consider making a donation so we can keep up the work of documenting all the world’s cameras and lenses. And thanks to generous donations from people like you, still has zero ads.īut, the bigger we get, the more expensive it is to pay for all this.Our Flickr group has grown to more than 95,000 photos.Our editors and contributors will be busy adding more new articles in 2017 and we expect to continue improving the server and backend software as well. The additional bandwidth of our current host has allowed our continued growth while maintaining reasonable page load times for our international users. Six years and we’re still here, still adding photos, still adding new articles. We’re considering adding support for Bitcoin donations and perhaps a Patreon page.Ĭamera cake photo by Joseolgon (cc by-sa) If you’d prefer to make a donation by a method other than PayPal, let us know in the comments below. With your help, we look forward to celebrating Camera-Wiki’s 9th birthday next year! You can do either by going to the Donation page and clicking the donate link. Please considering making either a one-time donation or signing up for a small ongoing, monthly donation. Of course, growth always come at a cost and we continue to need your help funding our hosting. In particular the transition to Google helps us better serve our users in Europe and Asia with faster page loads. This year, however, we’re making a transition to Google Cloud, a big change for us with lots of potential for future growth. We started out with Dreamhost eight years ago but quickly outgrew it and since then have hosted on dedicated servers at NCC Internet Services. We’re in the process of transitioning to our third web hosting provider in the eight years since we launched. We are now serving over 375,000 pages views to more than 120,000 unique visitors every month! The downside to our success is that the web server’s bandwidth usage has grown to around 60GB per month. Today is Camera-Wiki’s 8th birthday and we’re overdue for an update here on our blog! We’ve reached 8,900 Wiki articles and over 100,000 photos in our Flickr group.
