So obviously there is limited volunteer bandwidth to
migrate the wiki.
And I've heard from several people, on and off
the list, that much of what is on the wiki is
not very useful.
uh, well...I don't know bout this. I was under the
impression that MUCH of developer info was here.
Others would need to weigh in but I think it was
widely used because of the ease of use.
Just my word of advice:
Check the MediaWiki at http://ooo-wiki.apache.org/
If we take out information about Hg (dead),
the Development Teams and Projects (which will have to
be reorganized), Old News, the issue tracker ...
Is the information left worth it to run through a
MW-->CWiki conversion effort?
Yes, the projects need some reorganization, but I doubt if all the
development stuff should be removed. It simply hasn't gone anywhere -- yet.
The problem is NOT the conversion effort (a one time deal) but the
maintenance effort.
*IF* someone(s) would step up to be the MW guru, there wouldn't be an issue
but we're outside the "infra" workings.
Well the complicate part of our wiki is not the wiki itself, it's more
the extensions. The problem is, that Ifrastructure allows only services
with all security fixes. This is no problem for MW itself. MW is realy
well maintained. But If you need a Update and you have only one
extension who is not well maintained and does not work with the latest
version of MW, the trubbles starts. Well, you can deinstall the
extension, but then you lose also same functionality. And same of these
functionality is the reason why we prefer MW.
The mediawiki desicion depends also to the question, "What we will doing
with the wiki". If we will use it as a coordinations tool, and to
hosting "internal" informations, not dedicated to endusers, then we
don't realy need MW. If we want to use it for doc translation etc. Then
there are functionality that no other (by apache infra) supports.
I think given the license situation we should just
leave that stuff as read-only for now and do all new
work on CWiki (or MoinMoin).
Well OK, good enough and I would agree with this.
After looking at the old wiki this am, it seems someone from the "es" area
has made quite a few changes/additions, and the front page itself had been
modified this am. Of course, there was that "throw pillows" page addition??!
and ps. Does anyone here actually know HOW to put the old wiki in
read-only???
I think, I can do this if needed.
