Gentoo Wiki:About
Gentoo's Wiki Project is responsible for the creation and maintenance of a wiki for general use by developers and community members of Gentoo. The goal of the wiki is to provide an accessible web-based service for easy collaboration on various documents relating to the development and use of the Gentoo distribution, and for related community needs.

Setup
As we occasionally get inquiries how to set up a wiki like ours, we quickly describe the setup below. Please note that we're unable to support you with setting up all the required components.
The Gentoo Wiki builds upon MediaWiki as wiki software, it was initially developed for use at Wikipedia and its sister sites. We use several extensions to provide additional functionality.
The look-and-feel is based on Bootstrap. As part of the new Gentoo website theme called Tyrian, we've created an extension to Bootstrap that provides Gentoo branding among other things.
The MediaWiki theme needs Bootstrap, as well as the Tyrian extensions to work.
When reusing any of the components, please host all of them on your own server/CDN.
