Mail on random shared servers is generally hard because it usually gets classified as spam by the receiver. I also have a set of servers that I do my own random projects on, so you are not alone in that regard.
I have made the "wiki" command, as a bash script, but I need people to try it out. Currently it's living at /home/audiodude/bin/wiki
I've also written an update to the motd but I don't want to submit that until the wiki command is working, because it relies heavily on it.
I'm not sure I have a tilde club project set up after that, except for maybe fleshing out the wiki articles that I hastily stubbed in order to put them in the motd.
Cheers, -Travis

Welcome!
Thank you!
I think right now there's a bit of a tiny push to tidy up the MOTD (message of the day, which gets displayed when you log in or when you type `$ motd`).
One of the ideas is to maybe make a command line version of the wiki, so you can do `$wiki ssh` and get the ssh (https://tilde.club/wiki/ssh.html) article in plain text format.
How does this apply to the MOTD? It could then tell you:
Cool stuff. And probably very helpful.
I just found tilde.club a few days ago and and love the idea (even if I'm not sure about the main goal or whatever - it feels like it's a bit more than the first paragraph on the homepage says) and just joined the mailing list. I already have my own servers and infrastructure to make perfect and then break in the eternal spiral that is having fun with computers.
I believe I share that interest with a couple of people on this mailing list.
Myself I managed to set up my own mailman server yesterday (was a bit hard as I'm using OpenSMTPd and not Postfix or Exim), and it's kind of working now. I had an idea of maybe trying to have a mailing list as a way to add comments to news I post on my homepage.
... then I think I want to add a guestbook or a shoutbox somehow.
What's next after the motd thing?
