[cclib-devel] Choices about Mediawiki

[Noel O'B. <bao...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I've been looking at the hosted MW (MediaWiki) on SF as we need to do
something about our own MW. Unfortunately, it is currently not
possible to import a database into the hosted MW, nor is it possible
to use Special:Import to import the text directly. While the former is
unlikely to be possible for a while (apparently it's on the To Do
list), the latter is described as Urgent in a recent Feature Request
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2107929&group_id=1&atid=200001).

The hosted MW is at apps.sf.net/mediawiki/cclib.

Right now, I can copy and paste the contents of our old wiiki into the
hosted MW. This is boring tedious work but it shouldn't take too long.
On the downside, we lose our wiki history. Does anyone care about
this? I don't think our history is worth that much and am happy to go
ahead and never have to worry about maintaining a MW in future.

Thoughts?

Noel

Actually, I've tried to renable our current wiki and I have gotten 80%
of the way. Currently, the website is back up, but editing is not
possible. I think they've renamed the databases so I need to change
some settings. That's a job for another day...

I guess I don't understand what changed on sourceforge. Were we in  
charge of actually setting up the wiki (and its software) before, and  
now they provide that for us? But we can still keep our current (old)  
wiki?

Yes. We set one up in our project web space.

Yes. They now have three hosted applications which we can opt into.
These are hosted by SF, not in our project web space.

It looks like we can. Basically, they've gone thru a whole upgrade,
moved directories around, renamed the sql servers, so I needed to
update some of the config files, etc. (and I'm still not done). It
looks like this is the best option for the moment, as they don't allow
import into the hosted mediawiki.

Our wiki seems to be back up to normal. Editing works, etc. In fact,
it seems a lot faster now. Yay!
