[GMOD-devel] Migrating gmod.org advice/RFC

[Scott C. <sc...@sc...>]

Hi all,

I'm addressing this to a few of the more heavily trafficked GMOD mailing
lists in hopes of getting some good advice.  The server that runs gmod.org
is being retired at the end of the month, so I have to find it a new home.
One option includes leaving it at OICR on a new virtual machine, but it
will require me to port the existing MediaWiki instance, which I already
know won't be fun.

There are other alternatives though--it was suggested recently that the
content in gmod.org could be migrated to GitHub pages, which sounds
appealing but I have no idea how much work would be involved.  I've also
considered migrating to AWS, which I think will be a similar amount of work
as the internal migration at OICR but would likely be cheaper in the long
run.

Thanks in advance for any insights!
Scott
