 # The Bash Hackers Wiki
 
+!!! warning "Under construction"
+    This is an archive of the old [wiki.bash-hackers.org](https://wiki.bash-hackers.org) with the goal to preserve and imporove the content by the community in a modern way and format.
+
+    The most recent version of each page that had content was automatically converted to Markdown and can be found here.
+    Pandoc did its best, but there is still some work to do as not a all pages are formatted correctly.
+    So for everyone who is interested in helping out, feel free to open PRs. Any help is welcome.

 This wiki is intended to hold documentation of any kind about GNU Bash.
 The main motivation was to provide *human-readable documentation* and information so users aren't forced to read every bit of the Bash manpage - which can be difficult to understand.
 However, the docs here are **not** meant as a newbie tutorial.
