+Doug,
+
+Thanks for talking with me about this. I will continue talking with you, I just 
+commented that I am discussing there too. 
+
+I think that the text of Mageia (in English) in Wikipedia is no longer available 
+on the Internet, nor googlecach. 
+
+http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:lD4ffNLZEUUJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mageia+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mageia&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk
+
+I copied the text of the page Mageia-en (at googlecach) when it was still 
+available, some days ago. This can help rebuild the new page.
+
+Cheers
+Macxi

+History
+
+On 18 September 2010, a group of former Mandriva employees and community 
+supporters announced that Mandriva Linux was being forked and a new community-
+driven distribution would be created, called Mageia.[4] This action followed the 
+dismissal of most employees working on the Mandriva distribution when the 
+Mandriva-owned company Edge-IT was liquidated. The group explained that they "do 
+not want to be dependent on the economic fluctuations and erratic, unexplained 
+strategic moves of the company".
+Versions
+
+Mageia is released on a 9-month release cycle and each release is supported for 
+18 months.[6]
+Latest version
+
+The latest stable version is Mageia 1, released in June 2011.
+Development version
+
+The development version of Mageia is known as Cauldron and is what becomes the 
+next release of Mageia.[7]
+Goals
+
+The following goals were listed in the organization's announcement on 18 
+September 2010:[4]
+
+Make Linux and Free and Open Source Software straightforward to use for 
+everyone;
+Provide integrated system configuration tools;
+Keep a high-level of integration between the base system, the desktop (KDE, 
+GNOME, etc.) and applications; especially improve third-parties (be it free or 
+proprietary software) integration;
+Target new architectures and form-factors; and
+Improve understanding of computers and electronics devices users.
+
+Name
+
+The term "mageia" — μαγεία in Greek — means "magic" in English. It is a 
+reference to Mandrake (the magician), the original name of the Mandriva 
+distribution (Mandrake Linux).[8]
