The volunteers who maintain this wiki are available on the Vanagon Wiki discussion list.

History

The Vanagon Wiki was created on August 7, 2007. It is intended to be a central repository for all information Vanagon-related (however loosely). Like the Vanagon.com list archives, the wiki will preserve and convey the distilled wisdom of those who love, maintain, repair, and modify these unique vehicles. But unlike the archives, these pages will not only be quicker to access, they are "live," meaning that any registered user can edit a topic for accuracy or clarity or add new information as it comes along; and any registered user can create new topic pages. If you consider yourself to be an expert in a particular area then register and create a new page so others can benefit from your experience.

Some time before May, 2010, the Vanagon Wiki data was lost due to a series of unfortunate events (how Vanagon-like). It was rebuilt by a special segment of the Vanagon Rescue Squad.

Around April, 2012, the volunteer who owned the domain name vanagonwiki.net fell away, and eventually the domain expired. The web site was down for a time, but no data was lost, and the site was re-launched as t3wiki.org in December, 2015. But we've re-registered vanagonwiki.net now, so if the community prefers, we can go back to that original domain.
