So, if there were an easy enough way for MediaWiki to provide us with
an initial list, maybe with author, last modifier, modified date,
categories, etc... I think that would at least give a good indication
and some stats for orientation.
The tiddlywiki mediawiki will show all the pages via links from this
page:
http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
which doesn't really do you much good.
Or, how about dumping all MediaWiki content into text chunks and then
import the lot into an initial TiddlyWiki? I am not a MediaWiki tech-
literate, so this is at best brainstorming.
I'm not inclined to do this, even if I knew how (I don't, off the top of
my head) because I believe that this moment presents a unique
opportunity to have a human's eyes upon the content as it is migrated.
By _not_ automating the process every single page will get at least a
little bit of attention when it is moved.
The process I'm using at the moment is this:
* I look at a tiddler in the target site for a missing link.
* I go to the source site and copy the wikitext for the page with the
name of that missing link.
* I paste that into a tiddler with the name.
* I correct the formatting so it looks correct in TiddlyWiki.
* I make a link on the source site to the new tiddler, with title
"Migrate".
Anyone else can use this process too. I hope they will. Eventually all
the content will be moved over. Or if not, then the content isn't
particularly useful.
Obviously this is rather time consuming, but the consensus in this
group has been that effective documentation is important.
