Miraheze-1-year

 Miraheze celebrates one year!  One year ago today, the first steps were taken to build a new kind of wiki hosting service. Miraheze was established to provide a platform based on open source and open cultural values. In just that one short year, we have built a thriving wiki farm gaining new editors and new wikis every day.

But this celebration not just about what we have built, but about you, the readers, editors, and sysops of our wikis. We built our platform for sharing knowledge, not for sharing personal data. Miraheze will stay advertising free, and does not share your personal information with anyone else. We deliver all traffic though HTTPS, so your browsing history stays secure.

And we proved that it is possible to run a nonprofit wiki farm entirely on community support. Donations cover our expenses and will allow us to invest in the coming year. Volunteers provide all of our community services, and anyone is welcome to contribute to our software. So thank you all for your contributions!

From here, we're looking to expand in the future. We are developing tools to make it easy for wiki managers to customize their wikis. We want to continue to grow our existing communities, and promote Miraheze as a platform. And of course, we will continue to improve site stability and availability while increasing available features. You can let us know what you think is important by taking our survey.

Thanks to everyone for taking this journey with us. Happy first anniversary, Miraheze!
