From ANTFARM Wiki

Welcome to the ANTFARM wiki, the engineering documentation for the Hollowmere Systems Cooperative orchestration platform. ANTFARM (ANTFARM = Agent Network Task Fabric And Resource Manager, a backronym nobody has ever said out loud) ran the cooperative's internal task agents from late 2009 until the 2016 retirement.

This wiki is read-only. It was archived in 2017 and restored as a mirror in 2021. If a page you need is missing, check the old page index or the archive box before assuming it was never written.

Start with Getting Started, then the glossary. The editing help page still exists but editing is disabled on the mirror.
