I agree. What I'd like to do is mark (not delete) each page on the legacy site once it's been migrated. Something like red letters in a box at the top of the page saying this page has moved. Once all the information that we want to migrate has been migrated, then revamp/clean up the legacy site to focus on just the legacy projects.
What projects do we want to document on www.simile-widgets.org? From an outside user just getting started, the primary ones I know about (and use) are: Exhibit Timeline Timeplot Runway Babel What about the other graduated projects? Some of these are pretty cool. (I'd love to get more people using Seek!) One thought is to use simile-widgets.org for projects that the authors would be willing to answer support questions about and may update the source code if problems are found or for better integration with other technologies. Projects that have no hope for code update, no matter how useful they are, should probably stay on the legacy site. (Of course, that site wouldn't be publicly labeled as 'legacy' but simply a list of working, useful prototype 'use at your own risk' projects that will not be maintained nor supported.) - John MacKenzie wrote: > On Jun 4, 12:52 pm, David Karger <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I think it would be fantastic to copy everything from the legacy wiki to >> the current. >> > > Just one small caveat -- there is a lot of stuff on the 'legacy site' > that is unrelated to the current widgets but that people do consult > regularly (e.g. Longwell, Piggybank, and Citeline, to name just > three).
