It's worth noting that if you want to keep the wiki functionality but move it into GitHub, you can also clone the repo wiki and alter it that way: git clone https://github.com/user/reponame.wiki.git
Also, if you can get the Mediawiki markup out of the XML, you can convert that to GitHub-flavoured markdown (as well as a bunch of other formats) with pandoc, which would work for either the GitHub wiki, or the Jekyll-based pages. Something like a combination of pandoc and the CPAN MediaWiki::DumpFile::Pages package might do the job, though it'd probably require some checking and clean-up; the translation probably won't be *perfect*. -Ian On 16 October 2014 21:33, Geoffrey Hutchison <geo...@pitt.edu> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Despite the low level of action, I’ve been spending a lot of time *thinking* > about Avogadro and the future.
