Hi list, I am in the process of migrating the collectd wiki to Github. The new location of the wiki is: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/wiki
collectd currently uses a Mediawiki instance for much of the documentation. While this has served us well so far, it has some downsides: * We had to disable self-service sign-ups due to massive problems with spam. This prevents us from actually using the wiki as it was intended. * The wiki is running singly homed on one server, which is not very reliable. In case of a hardware failure, the wiki would be unavailable for days. Migrating to Github solves these problems. Current status: all "normal" wiki topics (i.e. topics in the "Main" namespace) have been imported into the Github wiki. Wiki topics in other namespaces ("User", "Category", …) will not be migrated. A random 10% sample of wiki topics have been converted to Markdown, the remainder are still in Mediawiki format. Images have not yet been imported (except icons on the "Home" page). Next steps: * Review topics that have been converted to Markdown and identify conversion issues * Import images. I don't think embedding images works with the Mediawiki format, hence the partial conversion to test * Convert all topics to Markdown * Disable the old wiki and install redirects to the new location * Migrate the home page to Github Pages. You can preview the new site at: https://collectd.github.io/ (WIP) * Migrate the mailing list to somewhere else (not sure where to yet) How you can help: Please file bugs if you encounter broken links that work in the old wiki, formatting issues that affect multiple topics, or other systemic problems in the new wiki. If you have an interest in web development or experience with Github Pages/Jekyll think that migrating collectd.org to Github Pages sounds like a fun project, I'd be happy to hand over the project, either in part or fully. Just ping me :) Best regards —octo _______________________________________________ collectd mailing list collectd@verplant.org https://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd
