Hello Koha community!
There has been discussion about updating or replacing the wiki
(https://wiki.koha-community.org). The software behind the current wiki
is out of date and we need to upgrade it. Or we could replace it with
something more lightweight or more user-friendly. The current wiki is a
gold mine of information, but that good information is hard to find.
This email is an attempt to start a conversation about the best plan of
action to upgrade our wiki.
The main argument for changing is that the MediaWiki version we are
using is obsolete.
- Should we continue with a more recent version of MediaWiki or change
the software?
It has been argued that maybe MediaWiki is a bit to complex for our
needs. DokuWiki (https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki) was cited as an
option, but it's apparently too light and one needs to learn the special
syntax.
- If we change the software, do you have a suggestion?
Some have suggested that we simply archive the current wiki and start
fresh with a new one.
- Would you be in favor of starting over?
I'm sure I'm forgetting things, but my hope is only to get the ball
rolling and that this project does not fall in the cracks once again. If
you have any suggestion, comment, or concern about this project, please
voice them by replying to this email.
If you'd rather discuss "live" about this issue, the wiki question is
often on the Development IRC meetings agenda. Next meeting is on March
24, 2021 at 20 UTC

Thank you for your input!
