Hi All, We've been trying to upgrade the current server config for a long time now, and it can not wait any longer. We have to move the development and the wiki out of the current server, and change subversion for a distributed control version system by the way, hopefully it wil make easy to contribute to OSG's development.
About the current wiki, we are using Trac, which is a disaster given the use we are making of it, OSG doesn't need any bug tracker+wiki+source_code_review, we are only using the wiki part so let's move to a proper wiki (if in the future a bug tracker is needed, maybe a dedicated bug tracker will do the work better) From subversion to Git or mercurial, that's not a problem, as an open source project we definitely can use one of the free services out there which are de facto standars for other big open source projects. That will make easier for other to collaborate with OSG, but we can also hang a repository on the new server. About the new server Robert is already paying an external hosting solution (Dreamhost) which is just fine, or at least, an improvement over the current situation, and for a plain wiki it will be just fine. And moreover, it will be under Robert's control all the time, the software can be auto-updated, backed up, and so on. So here is what I would do, if everybody is fine with it: -1st) migrate from subversion to git, probably github, and try to keep all the history and start there the development. -2nd) create a wiki on dreamhost( choose one from the list: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Available_One_Click_Installs) and let the community help migrating the content from the old server to the new wiki. -3rd) Choose people from the community to be wiki administrators and look after the content. There are other services like the CDash, which currently run just fine right how they are, we could think about them later. Opinions? JL.
