On behalf of everyone else I'd like to thank cactus for not only making the whole thing practicable but also for motivating the move in the first place; no mean feat in itself. cactus put an immense amount of work into planning and coordinating this migration. The whole process went smoothly and quickly, and the thorough preparation meant that even people who showed up on the off chance were able to be fully involved. It was great :)

Special thanks again to all those who helped with the wiki migration. It is done!

The new wiki resides at: http://www.archlinux.org/archwiki

In total, on the order of 230 pages were migrated. A list of these pages can be found here: http://www.archlinux.org/archwiki/index.php/Special:Allpages

In the coming week, I am hoping to help craft a How-To document to give people some direction in the nuances of the new wiki system: From using categories, to links on markup information.

In the meantime, this document:
http://cactuswax.net/~eliott/ArchLinux/wiki_migration/migration-howto.html
can likely provide simiple how to information in a small capacity.

Again, a very big thank you to those community members that helped with the migration. It is always pleasant working with a group that really pulls together to get a job done. I congratulate you all on your hard work, and thank you sincerely for donating much of your weekend to the cause.

Special thanks, in no particular order, to: xerxes2, klapmuetz, Dusty, paranoos, Mr Green, dtw, maxsipos, pholie, dlanor, SleepyDog, and iphitus. Without you guys, it would not have been possible.

If you are interested in seeing which of the above hard working individuals did what, you can see what chunks were done here http://www.archlinux.org/archwiki/index.php/Migration_Chunks%21

A chunk was 12 pages. Some chunks were larger than others (more lines in pages), and a few chunks had pages that were not migration candidates (too old, spam pages, one liners, ad-hoc category pages, etc).

There is still a tiny bit of work to be done, but it is solely in the realm of translation, thus out of my hands ;) . There were a few pages in various languages that we did not migrate. These are located here: http://cactuswax.net/~eliott/ArchLinux/wiki_migration/translation/
