Wikinerds Portal

From Wikinerds

 

Wikinerds Portal, later also known as Nerdshift, was an old Wikinerds website running at http://portal.wikinerds.org/

[edit] 1 History

Wikinerds Portal was founded by Nikolaos S. Karastathis as a central point to allow users to access the various Wikinerds sub-sites. In the beginning it used a variety of content management systems, but later it settled on Drupal (versions 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6 until 4.6.11).

It was later re-purposed as a site publishing news and articles for nerds. For some time it offered free blogs as well.

At some point the site was renamed to Nerdshift with the domain name nerdshift.org. However, the portal.wikinerds.org subdomain remained to be its primary address and the nershift.org domain was later fell into disuse.

On 31 October 2007 the site was taken offline and all traffic to portal.wikinerds.org was redirected to the new Wikinerds wiki (this site).

Some content of Wikinerds Portal was copied over to this Wikinerds wiki before it was taken offline.
