As of late December 2018 the original wiki server disappeared, along with its wikimedia database. It's being rebuilt here, from a non-editable snapshot of the [http://ode.org/wikiold/ old wiki]. Feel free to help out rebuilding: request an account, and use a tool like [http://www.ebruni.it/en/software/os/i_love_wiki/index.mpl this one] to convert the snapshotted HTML to wiki markup. Look at the list of [[Special:WantedPages]] to see what needs doing. See the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ode-users/u18Bf18FcAk mailing list thread] related to this.
