After recovering the wiki content from a 2014 wikitext dump, we built a custom Rust-based static site generator to render it. The SSG parses MediaWiki markup, processes templates, and generates a fully static website that mirrors the original wiki, without any of the overhead of running MediaWiki itself.

After [a great big fire](https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/analysis/ovhcloud-fire-france-data-center/), the original JC2-MP website went down and never came back up again. As a stop-gap solution, we recovered the original frontpage from backups and the Internet Archive, and built a basic static site from it.

Some time after that, we recovered a 2014 dump of the Wiki, and some time after that, we built a custom Rust-based static site generator to render it. The SSG parses MediaWiki markup, processes templates, and generates a fully static website that contains both the static frontpage and the generated wiki, without any of the overhead of running MediaWiki itself.

Some effort will be made to salvage additional content from Internet Archive as time and effort permit.
