 ## How Things Work
 
-(this is by fawkes's understanding, it may be wrong)
 
 ###When a request comes in:
  a connection comes in for sipb.mit.edu which via a hack in MIT DNS gets directed instead to PENGUIN-LUST.MIT.EDU. If its on ports 80, (443?), or 444 it gets passed off to scripts (where it's handled by b-m or b-k, whichever).
 
-scripts has a special vhost config (/etc/httpd/vhost.d/sipb.conf) for
-sipb.mit.edu:
-
-        DocumentRoot /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/wiki
-        Alias /doc /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/doc
-        Alias /iap /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/iap
-        Alias /cgit /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/cgit
-        Alias /~sipb-www /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts
-
-For our purposes the key line is the first, meaning that URIs not
-falling into an exception are served straight out of
-web_scripts/wiki/.  This directory's contents are generated by ikiwiki
-after each edit, consisting of HTML files and a program ikiwiki.cgi.
+The DocumentRoot for sipb.mit.edu is `/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/sipb`.  This directory contains a `.htaccess` file that causes most URIs to be served out of `web_scripts/sipb/_wiki`, a symlink to `../../Scripts/wiki`.  This directory's contents are static files generated by ikiwiki
+after each edit.
