My god, how can this happen?? After I found that my old wiki contents
are not editable, I tried to create a new one, then found that all my
old contents are gone!!
Such unexpected data loss should never be overlooked by
code.google.com engineers, right?? It's lucky that I happened to have
a quick backup - copy+paste to a rich editor, but later turned out
just ill-formatted text afterwards.....

Since many project owners like me, may have written wiki by hand
first, without using any SCM, later decided to turn on svn or hg, do
you expect they to see losing existing wiki at all??
Even you may put a warning, it still require extra work for project
owners to transit old wiki to new one - and is there a good way? -
Just how difficult is it to migrate old wiki to new one seamlessly and
automatically? Must there be a suffering for end users?

I'm already losing quite some trust in code.google.com. Starting to
wonder what if I happen to switch from svn to hg one day, will it lose
data too? Both code and document? Can't imagine.

Hope anyone who's in charge provide an answer to we faithful but
disappointed Google users.
