Dear developers and wiki enthusiasts,
Our current wiki hosted on wiki.inkscape.org is doing ok, but is running on an old machine that the hosting provider OSUOSL would like to retire if at all possible.
Since we are moving to Git*b, this is an opportunity to also move the wiki to that service. This decreases our system-admin burden and the resources we ask from osuosl.
It would also say that our wiki is more of a developer/contributor focused effort, leaving user content to the website. I expect things like hackfest planning and other plumbing to continue to use a wiki system.
The process of moving it would entail waiting until our code is on git*b and then convert each of the existing pages from MediaWiki syntax to Markdown syntax.
A script such as this https://bitbucket.org/wikier/mw2md%C2%A0could be used, but testing would be needed to see what kind of output we got.
For all people involved in using and editing the wiki, I'd like your thoughts on how we should manage our wiki service going forwards.
Thank you all.
Best Regards, Martin Owens Website Administrator Hat
