* About metanohi
This is metanohi.
Currently, metanohi resides on *metanohi.name*. Originally, it was on
metanohi.org. To contact [[./niels][Niels]] (the creator), send him an electronic mail at
[[mailto:ngws@metanohi.name][ngws@metanohi.name]].
metanohi is mostly XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2 valid. Currently, metanohi.name pages
are served as text/html and not as application/xml+xhtml (as they should). This
might get fixed (it is extremely easy to fix, but if fixed, some things
depending on external JavaScript which depends on non-XHTML, like the FSF
widget on the propaganda page, might cease to work).

Most of metanohi's content can be defined as free cultural works, as defined by
[[http://freedomdefined.org/][freedomdefined.org]]. Most of it is also [[http://copyfree.org/][copyfree]].
In all cases, you are free to redistribute content from metanohi, but please
don't set up a mirror for no reason (who would do that, anyway?).
External content is sometimes a different matter. [[./media-licenses][A list of licenses for media]]
is used for attributing in cases where it is impractical to attribute in-page.
If you use something from metanohi, please attribute Niels G. W. Serup and
metanohi (unless it's not by Niels, which is rare). When doing that, write
something like "Niels G. W. Serup, [[http://metanohi.name/][metanohi.name]]".

metanohi was created in 2009 as a spinoff of earlier projects with equally
undefined purposes.
undefined purposes. Back then the website was at metanohi./org/ instead of
metanohi./name/.
*Note:* While most of the content from the old metanohi has been ported to this
improved version, the modification times have not been saved. This is why old
projects from 2009 and 2010 appear to have been created in July or August, 2011.

There are several reasons:
There are several reasons for the choice of "metanohi":
+ It's unique
+ It's simple
+ It has the meta prefix, which automatically transforms anything into
something cool

** Font size
The font sizes on metanohi are based on your default font size. Read more [[/writings/css-failings][here]].

The default is probably 16 which works fine in metanohi (like other sizes
should do).
It's probably just as easy to change in other web browsers.
