Sure, I can set up Confluence on my own hardware. But what about getting the
MW data dump to work with?
my question also...how is this done???? I'm assuming you need admin
rights on the current incarnation at:
http://ooo-wiki.apache.org/wiki/Main_Page
And once done, what then? assuming we want to do a port into Confluence.
I don't think it should be necessary to setup individual Confluence
servers -- can't we just get a dump and then work with the Apache infra
people.
Again, I understand the arguments for staying with MW...but the question
still remains -- who will administer it?

If you have a server, then you can always setup your own confluence for
free, or buy a personal limited license for $10 for 10 users.
Apache CWiki is on a version 3.4 while the current version is 3.5.
See http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/try.jsp
Atlassian has a sandbox as well:

Yeah, I've kinda ran into a similar problems when I originally
volunteered
to help. I don't know how to go about it, without access to various data
dumps and such that it appears only Contributors/PPMC members have access
to.

I see you closed INFRA-3917.
I like to clean my own mess, yes.
Keep in mind that there appear to be others willing to
struggle with Confluence migration (CWiki?).
That makes me very happy!
Anyone can reopen the issue: the problem I see is that
it's basically only infra@ that can do this conversion:
I have no idea if/how someone else can mirror the original
information and assuming we can get a dump (which will
likely be big) after running the conversion it has to
be uploaded in the CWiki server for review.
A problem to consider in contingency planning: What it
means to lock down the current wiki during conversion.
And is the MW kept running for read-only viewing while
conversion takes place, either bit by bit or
wholesale? Parallel live operation does not
appear practical.
It depends: if the conversion script is fast and we are
not really editing our MW VM, I wouldn't worry about
locking, specially just for a test conversion. If
we see the test conversion could produce some
workable result we could use a snapshot.
I agree it will be tough but if we could rescue say
60% of the information, it would certainly be worth it.
I think Confluence migration remains as a
potentially-necessary Plan B or a potential following Plan A
if needed for the long run. The analysis TerryE
provided suggests that it won't be easy whenever it is
done. I'm thinking it should not be done first if MW
can be operated in the short term.
I agree, there's just not anything I can personally do
about it and this being about *doing* and not just
proposing I felt it was a matter of honesty to close
the issue :(.
