Excellent. I've generated an archive http://www.nedit.org/nedit-site.zip (warning: 243M) which contains all relevant data, including a dump of the Niki database, from which the wiki can be restored or converted to Trac or another format. Out of necessity I will be taking the server offline next week, most likely on Thursday April 28. The site archive will be available for download until then, and by direct request to me afther that. As for the mailing lists, if anyone can provide mailman hosting in the (really) near future, I can provide members lists and configurations. If not, the lists as they exist now will go offline. The archives will be preserved, but for any new discussions we either need new mailman hosting, or alternatively, the SF lists can be used. >> * create corresponding lists on SF, and import the subscribers in it, >> either as members or just inviting all existing members to join the >> new list.
