The RCEs in Confluence *are* rather unfortunate, and after 7 years of dealing with it, and spam issues, we weren't inclined to continue dealing with it and decided to pull the bandaid off, given that this was discussed initially almost a year ago: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/developer/Tadc847f747357487-M3c3b9e164c5c7f95c4802f28/looking-for-feedback-on-website-update And then again 5 months ago: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/advocates/Tf7cf29243624783a-M663cf0c53d4d732885dceb58/proposals-for-project-improvements > Wiki looks nice, and there is the need to distinguish between Wiki > content ( fast way to publish changes without the need for 'approval' > but ability to include other's changes afterwards) , Web site content > management , fast 'docs' as fast derivative and proper 'Documentation' > that is none of the three.

While I'm sure we'd all love to have something like the FreeBSD Handbook, I'm not sure that's exactly reasonable. The content on the wiki was generally an unorganized mess. Much of it was outdated at best, and outright inaccurate at worst. You can edit the pages directly on GitHub and submit a PR. If review times becomes egregious, perhaps people will offer to become reviewers and I can add them to the project! > It is very hard to look at too wide presented texts and scroll forever > loosing content while looking at it. What are you viewing the site on? Can you supply a screenshot? If there are bugs with the theme I'm sure we can fix them, but I'm not seeing anything obvious on Linux or macOS (Firefox, Chrome, Safari.) > Also Wiki content and locations is by now indexed in web crawlers > (Google etc.) and loosing those links that would die, would loose web > site location (illumos.org) it's place on the web search results (when > links indexed are not working) > Not to mention what would people think when links to illumos.org > massively don't work anymore. The indexes will presumably get updated. Direct links were certainly lost. A number of the root wiki URLs have redirects to their appropriate locations under: https://illumos.org/docs/ In your mail directly to me you asked about the mailing list links. They are located here: https://illumos.org/docs/community/lists/ We have a redirect for the old wiki URL to that. If there are other (important) redirs we can add, we will; a 1:1 mapping is not maintainable, however.
