Re: [R-sig-phylo] continued maintenance of the R-Phylo wiki

[Vojtěch Zeisek]

Ah, sorry, I was bit confused by Hilmar's direct answer to an old thread... 
Anyway, if there'd still be need for hosting or so, I could help.
Sincerely,
Vojtěch

Vogtěch and others,

Apologies if the context was lost from the original thread, which is from about 
a year ago. Here it is for your reference:

 Actually let me correct myself. The XML dump would be placed in a
 publicly accessible archive (because this is one of our public wikis),
 likely in a NESCent collection we are putting together on Zenodo (see
 https://zenodo.org/collection/user-nescent). The XML dump will allow
 re-instating the wiki from it, but accounts and edit history would be
 lost.

[R-sig-phylo] continued maintenance of the R-Phylo wiki

[Hilmar Lapp]

Dear comparative phylogeneticists  community,

The Phylogenetic Comparative Methods wiki at http://www.r-phylo.org/,
which is an outcome of the same venerable hackathon in 2007 that
resulted in the founding of this list, has been hosted by NESCent. As
you may be aware, NESCent is closing this summer, and as a consequence
won't be able to provide continued hosting and maintenance of the wiki.
We are currently making plans for transfer, archival and deletion of
digital resources that we host, including the the R-Phylo wiki. The wiki
contains tutorials on many different comparative analyses,  but has had
only minimal edits in the last few years [1].

Is this resource still of value to the community? If so, we welcome
proposals for transferring hosting the wiki and/or its contents. A
proposal should include a plan for transfer of content, information on
where the resulting site would be hosted and a statement about plans for
future sustainability of the resource.

If we do not hear expressions of interest in transfer of hosting before
May 22 2015, then the wiki will have to be taken offline when NESCent
closes. An XML dump of the wiki contents will be placed in the NESCent
digital archive with Duke Libraries, but will not be publicly accessible.

FYI, we have just recently upgraded the MediaWiki version running the
R-Phylo wiki to the latest version, and we installed the Google Login
plugin (because Google's OpenID support, which used to be used for
federated authentication, was sunset as of April 20). If someone or an
institution or organization is willing to take over hosting, we will
have resources until June 30 to assist with the transfer. Later
transfers could potentially be negotiated, but will have to complete by
Sep 2015.

P.S. #1 To head off one question some of you may be asking yourselves,
this does not affect this mailing list. The mailing list is not hosted
by NESCent. I *am* the moderator, and don't mind doing that for some
time longer, though I wouldn't mind sharing this with one or two other
people. The load from that is relatively light, typically only a few
spam and a few legit emails to be dealt with in the moderation queue per
week.

P.S. #2 I should note that I also (personally) own the r-phylo.org
domain name(and in fact rphylo.org too) . If the R-Phylo wiki isn't
going to persist and someone has plans or ideas for how to use this
domain name in other ways that benefit this community, let me know and
I'd be happy to consider transferring it.

Hi all,

I think the best solution would be to transfer the how-to material to
Wikibooks, which is run by the same people that run Wikipedia. The
current Phylogenetics book is pretty sparse. I'd be willing to take
some time to organize and transfer the text.
