The Tardis Project

Tardis has moved. The Tardis Project has moved to a new location outside of the university and is being rebuilt. With the exception of email, the web service and the wiki, all Tardis services are unavailable until they are rebuilt over the coming months. Backups have been taken, so you will still be able to access your data. We will follow up shortly with the details of how. The email service will continue running on a temporary and receive-only basis to allow users time to migrate to their new accounts. Please start moving any external accounts from your existing Tardis email address (username@tardis.ed.ac.uk) now. Homepages will continue running on a read-only basis. If you need something removed or changed before we get the new systems up and running, please contact us. The Tardis Project is a computing facility, run and maintained by students (and staff!) of The University of Edinburgh. It was one of the first such projects of its kind, founded in 1988 by the School of Informatics (previously Department of Computer Science). Tardis provides services to members of the University, such as web hosting and mail access. One of the Tardis Project's main aims is to allow students at the university to be involved in running a large computing system, and learn the experience required to design, build and maintain such a system.

Our wiki is in need of some love. ❤️
