 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).
This absolutely makes sense ! I saw the existing confluence pages were
mostly admin, so grouping them together will reduce the cognitive
burden for that mode of editing.
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.
Is there a way to export the data from the wiki in bulk, with some way
to mechanically reconstruct the original wiki url ? Then one could
build a static website with redirects only (trivial to do in
JavaScript), and push the rest of the contents into their places…
I'll be working with Vanessa on this. She is investigating migration
tools and we will test the tools by migrating content to
github.com/fdio/.github/wiki with the intention to biff it once the
testing is complete.
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.
This might work pretty well, if it exists!
Here is the example that Cssey shared at the TSC meeting:
https://lf-camaraproject.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CAM/pages/127729674/DeviceRoamingStatus
We'll see if it works reliably. It was a bit slow to load so may not be
the best mechanism.
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-
