Re: [Alexandria-staff] error updating wiki at http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?action=edit&id=ReleaseNotes

Here's what I got from SF admins regarding our wiki. Can someone please do what they tell us to do, i.e. move the wiki data to a writeable location? Our wiki is totally read-only until it's done (and has been for several days already).

Greetings, On Monday morning we made a change to our project web servers remounting all home directories to read-only for security reasons. This change was originally slated for 2005-02 but was postponed until 2005-08. More information may be found in our Site Status:
( 2005-08-11 13:17:39 - Project Web Service ) As per the previous announcement in the sitewide newsletter sent on 2005-02-28, the project home directories on the project web servers will be mounted read-only on 2005-08-15 at 9:00 AM. We highly recommend moving to a database storage mechanism (the MySQL server we provide) or the new directory tree provided for all data writing needs from the project web servers. This operation is described in the following site document: https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=4297&group_i d=1#permissions
The change was made on Monday morning:
( 2005-08-15 10:53:57 - Project Web Service ) Inquiries regarding Internal Service Errors should be directed to the administrator for the project managing that project web site; some web-based applications (maintained by individual projects) will malfunction due to the read-only remount of the project group directories; data needs to be moved to the project MySQL database, or the /tmp/persistent directory structure as per https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=4297&group_i d=1#permissions

Ok, so my read on this data is that we either:
A.) Need to move our wiki to use a mysql solution.
B.) Reconfigure it to use /tmp/persistent directory and make it world writable which means anyone could modify it who uses the sf.net service...soooo..this is a bad option. What do you all think?
Man.....this kinda blows! Should we go to the trouble to fix this or migrate to mediawiki...arg...
Also, I have turned back to using wordpress for the blog. I can't get motivated to finish my tool especially now that you can't let the webserver securely write to files...I guess the word of the day is adapt ;) (that goes to me)

May as well do MediaWiki, IMO.
