great!

I think that would not be too bad, since status is already slightly outdated
for some bugs and some flavours of axiom, and the classification scheme could
maybe be simplified.

Not anymore, sorry.

Apart from that, I strongly support Waldek's view of making a more or less
identical copy first, and polish later - time and interest permitting.

Also, I would very much like to see the old wiki read only meanwhile.

I won't have any time for serious axiom stuff for a while.  And even then, I'd
prefer to work on the species project.  But the wiki cannot wait for such a
long time, it is used by too many people!

A final suggestion: would it be possible to map

    http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org

to

    http://axiom.newsynthesis.org

I need short names for the next axiom workshop :-)

Martin
