I think they're still there, 2001 and 2002's, looking at the machine
from the command line. Separate from the wiki's directories is a
dorset.tar.gz and a dorset.tvf listing its contents. AFAICT the latter
has pre-wiki content, e.g.
dorset/Website-Archive/dorset-08.10.2005/events/20010429/print/dcp02013.jpg
dorset/Website-Archive/dorset-08.10.2005/events/installday2002/pics/DSC00424.JPG
with various backups, etc., duplicating things.
It would take some time to sift through it and see what good stuff is
there amongst the fluff of the website, e.g. old Javascript and icons,
to add it to the website. It probably shouldn't be made completely
public as is, as it's unclear what else is in there. :-)
Before doing the sifting, perhaps we should consider the options given
the broken wiki that shows no signs of being fixed. Given our simple
needs, I'd favour a static site generator that takes a directory
heirarchy and builds an accompanying one containing the web site that
needs no site code to run on the web server's machine. lug.org.uk can
host that. The source of the site could be under Mercurial, say, on
https://bitbucket.org/ or similar given there's no `wiki edit'
functionality. http://gohugo.io/ is one such generator, but there's
loads.
Other ideas?
Cheers, Ralph.
