			==Hosting==
			This site is hosted with one of the cheapest web hosting services. You may ask are they good? In a single word, ''No'' -- they are far from what an ideal host should be. However, considering that their charges are also small (small enough to do this as a hobby!), I am in no position to complain.

[[metawikipedia:mediawiki|mediawiki]] is not a product intended for creating [[personal websites]]. However, I decided that it is a good candidate for [[my purpose]], due to several reasons including:
* It's easy to edit and maintain.
* It allows others to participate
* It is not something that will die tomorrow, for it is [http://assela.pathirana.net/skins/common/images/gnu-fdl.png GPL] and thousands of users are already committed to it by using it as a wiki software.

However, there was (and still is, and will be :-) ) some mismatches between what [[metawikipedia:mediawiki|mediawiki]] provided and what I needed. Following is an account of some changes that I had to do in order to customize it.
