We're revamping the wiki content at the moment.

Because the RecapTime.dev Wiki is not only outdated but also badly needed a content refresh, we'll placing it under maintenace mode during the revamp. Expect major changes into how we organize the wiki, among other things. So, we'll be extending our uttermost apologies if things break here.

Instructions for admins

Depending on your permissions, you may need help moving between organizations/namespaces.

Once the instructions above are accomplished on the side of maintainer, you should move into @recaptimedev-archive GitHub organization (@recaptime-dev/archive on GitLab and ~recaptime-dev/archived on hosted sourcehut) and gracefully shut down or archive any infrastructure.
