Hello everyone,

since I was looking for information regarding my problem I was browsing the 
opennic.org page and the wiki a bit more. There I did find multiple dead, 
unrelated or unusable links.

For example the registration links on https://wiki.opennic.org/opennic/dot
Some are dead links, some point to http server configuration pages/defaul 
pages, some use invalid/old certificates and some point to pages that are 
unrelated to the domain and/or opennic.

This is just one page of the wiki, I've found a few others.
Now, I know opennic is a community effort and would like to offer my help in 
updating the wiki content (if you wish you can point me to a page that is in 
need of an update).
However I can only write stuff from a user perspective not as someone who is 
running his/her own dns server.
And the links is something I can't correct since I don't have the necessary 
information (well I could remove the dead links).

In addition to the links I did find another problem.
On some pages the contact (hostmaster/abuse/webmaster) is providing a 
opennic-only email address. While I understand that this looks appropriate 
e.g. hostmaster AT opennic.chan for the .chan-domain, but it really hurts 
usability.
Many people don't run their own email server and use a public provider. Any 
opennic-only address is unreachable by almost all public email provider and 
can only be addressed if you use a customized email server that uses opennic. 
(Maybe there is another way, but it's not exactly user friendly.)

As mentioned before, I would be happy to help.

Best regards,
Christoph
