Re: Migrating Wiki to a CouchApp

[Russell Branca <ch...@gmail.com>]

I'm going through some backlogs on the mailing list and stumbled upon
this. What's the status of the new wiki? Anything you guys need help
with? I've got a potential solution for email notifications if you're
still looking for that. Let me know.

Yes! I want to do this, but I'm totally slammed with other stuff.

The key points are:

Finish some features on the Pages wiki codebase:
  ability to restore old versions (eg revert bad edits)
  Atom feed of edits and comments
  email notifications (not as crucial, but they'd be nice)

Get the importer solid
  it is pretty close but there are a few edge cases it misses

Figure out the infra questions (do we need to host a CouchDB on Apache Infra, or can CouchOne donate hosting to the project?)

Do the final import.

Set up redirects from the old wiki to the new wiki (this should definitely be direct from old page -> new page, not just to the front page of the new wiki.)


If people can sign up for various of these tasks, I think we can quickly make the move to the new wiki!

I'd love to see this happen, and I'll try to contribute as I can, but I'll need help from others to make it happen.
