Thanks for the prompt response. To achieve the above listed tasks I have to
understand wiki media markup and github markdown I guess? Is there any
other thing I will need?

It will involve the development and refinement of scripts to:
(1) convert Media Wiki markup to Markdown
(2) scrape the activity pages in the wiki
(3) create the appropriate .md files in the git repos in
github.com/sugarlabs/
(4) replace the wiki content with redirects to the git repo .md files.

There will be a need to monitor the script output closely as the variety of
pages in the wiki is pretty extreme across the 350 or so pages.

regards.

https://publiclab.github.io/community-toolbox/ is an example of a direction
we might want to consider. Especially in light of the fact that we have
issues spread across so many different repositories.
