[Cpptool-develop] Our wiki was vandalized...

[Baptiste L. <gai...@fr...>]

The mail below was forwarded on the boost ML, and it seems that our wiki is
also among the victims. All world writable files in cpptool/htdocs were
erased. This includes the htdocs/wiki directory content.

At the current time, I've been able to retrieve the
CodeAnalysisForRefactoring page from my web browser cache. I'll try to see
if I can find some more on my computer at work.

Any help to retrieve more would be welcome (I'd really like to get the
ParserOverview and CppRefactorings page). This can be done by searching for
the browser cache on the computer you used to browse the wiki. On Windows,
this is usually in Documents and Settings\$YourUserName$\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files.

Keyword that can be use for the search:
ASTNode
SourceASTNode
ParserOverview
RenameTemporary
ReduceTemporaryScope
ExtractMethod
RenamePrivateField

If you find some of our wiki pages, please post them. I'll try to
reconstruct the Wiki from this.

To my knowledge, we can't protect the wiki data files from being world
writable, so it would be wise to come up with a regular backup solution.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
Baptiste.
