... and there was unfortunately no support in porting the stuff. I guess some simple program (perl -p -e 's/{{{/<hask>/g' :-) could have simplified a lot. Its however more difficult for me to do this via the web interface, than for the people who have access to the bare files. > Clearly making HaWiki live again would be a bad idea; haskellwiki is > being used now for a reason.

Since it is easier to port Wiki code than HTML code, I propose copying all hawiki pages as they are to haskellwiki in a directory like DEPRECATED. >From there people can go on moving pages into the space of current pages.
