Welcome to Appropedia: Difference between revisions

As you probably noticed, Appropedia had outgrown its server and had slowed to a crawl. Now, thanks to a kind donation from Curt (of wannaresolution blog), Appropedia finally has a new better, faster and more secure server - DreamHost...Yeah! During this one or two day transition, the URL will be different and some external links may not work. Please report any other problems here. Thank you all for your interest, support and engagement.
