cppreference.com is the premier public reference site for documenting and tracking the C++ language. It is run by Nate Kohl, with the help of many volunteer wiki editors. I want to thank Nate and all the volunteers for making it such an enduringly valuable resource.

Like all software, the site requires maintenance. It has been in read-only mode for some time while Nate has been leading the work to migrate it to MediaWiki. Because the Standard C++ Foundation's web wizard, James Riordon, recently migrated the ISO C++ committee wiki (now also maintained by the Foundation) to MediaWiki, I asked Nate whether the Foundation and James could help. Nate accepted our offer, and thanks to Nate and James's work, cppreference is now almost ready to return to normal read-write operation.

To help keep the site running smoothly going forward, the Foundation plans to continue providing hosting and administrative support for the site's infrastructure, including future MediaWiki and related updates. That should let Nate stay focused on leading the site's content and coordinating the volunteer editors who keep cppreference current.

We expect the refreshed site, including support for all languages, to return to read-write mode later this month. Fingers crossed. My thanks again to Nate, James, and everyone who has helped make cppreference the indispensable reference it is today, and to everyone for their patience while this necessary maintenance has been underway.

Cheers,

Herb
