Hi Andrew,
No worries, we're still gathering input from the communities.
Based on feedback received so far (including yours), I think a hybrid
approach is most likely to be best, where project specific wiki entries
are migrated to the project repo wiki and using the LFN Confluence wiki
for the main page and ancillary wiki pages (e.g. TSC).
Vanessa and I will be doing some testing using the fdio/.github/wiki to
try and figure out how to automate the migration and see what works best
to avoid a bazillion URL redirects. We will also be putting together a
short migration document to specify the detailed plan for migration. We
will publish it to get comments from the communities once it is available.
Casey Cain has also pointed out that there are tools in Confluence to
load content into the wiki from github repo's, so we'll figure out if
that would allow both interfaces to be used to render the same wiki data.
Thanks,

Hi Dave,
I've missed your original email, sorry for the late reply!
I had a look at the Confluence wiki and clicked around it - it seems
at least right now it is used to host mostly administrative content;
and looking at it, the interface doesn't appear to add much compared
to using github, do we have the idea of what are the pros/cons of
having an extra dependency vs. having it on github in one place ?
To me intuitively having it on github would be less cognitive load,
and easier to manage (since, after all, this is just another git repo,
which I presume can be rendered into static pages using some static
site generator ?) - and if it is static pages, there can be nonzero
cost savings in terms of hosting costs.

Folks,
LF-IT and the FD.io TSC has a cost-savings goal for 2026 to
migrate wiki.fd.io <http://wiki.fd.io> off of the existing
mediawiki instance to either
1. LFN Confluence wiki:
https://lf-networking.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LN/overview
2. Per Project Repository, github wiki:
https://github.com/fdio/vpp/wiki
https://github.com/fdio/csit/wiki
https://github.com/fdio/.github/wiki
As discussed in both today's VPP community meeting and CSIT
community meeting, the current recommendation is to migrate the
contents of wiki.fd.io <http://wiki.fd.io> to the LFN Confluence
Wiki and also provide project overview/summary/meeting info on
github project wikis with links to the LFN Confluence FD.io wiki
space.
If anyone has objections to this plan, please reply to this email
and provide details on desired changes/improvements.
Thanks,
-daw-
