If I remember correctly, this wiki was created by Jacob "Kreyren" Hrbek
<kreyren@rixotstudio.cz> [1, 2], however they seem to have been banned from
IRC some time ago [3].  miraheze.org itself seems to be a wiki farm, but
I don't know if there are any advantages over LibrePlanet.  I think it
would be very possible to turn the current Group:Guix wiki into a proper
Community wiki, just that it's not used in that way currently.
