Welcome to the OpenSSL wiki!
Anyone with a GitHub account may add or edit wiki
pages. We
ask that contributions be specifically relevant to the OpenSSL
community.
Migrating content
This wiki is hosted on GitHub and replaces a MediaWiki
wiki. While that site
has plenty of useful information, many pages are no longer
up-to-date. That said, if you see a page on the old wiki that's still
useful, feel free to move it here.
Getting raw wiki content the old wiki
If you have the title of a wiki page, you can get a copy of the raw
wiki format by visiting:
Using curl is a convenient way to get a local
copy:
Converting to Markdown
For ease of editing, we ask that pages conform to GitHub Flavored
Markdown. Pandoc
converts MediaWiki (and many other formats) into Markdown:
You may use the "New page" button on the wiki
site to publish the page.
Cloning the wiki
If you prefer to work locally, it is possible to clone the
wiki:
A note from the GitHub documentation:
Once you have cloned the wiki, you can add new files, edit existing
ones, and commit your changes. You and your collaborators can create
branches when working on wikis, but only changes pushed to the
default branch will be made live and available to your readers.
Fixing outdated content
Please review content you contribute to make sure it's up-to-date.
Not everything on the old wiki is current, so go over the content and
verify it's still accurate for the most recent release of OpenSSL.
