wiki conversion

[Felix Schumacher <fe...@internetallee.de>]

Hi all,

we probably all have seen the notice, that the old wiki will go away
soon. Sebb has already started the process of migrating the old content
into the new one.

My questions here are. @sebb where can I help you with the migration and
when should we switch the link on our homepage to the new wiki?

Regards

 Felix

I think we finally now have a Confluence version (JMETER) of the
JMeter MoinMoin wiki, complete with history and attachments.

I am just waiting for Infra to confirm that the warning message that
was displayed at the end of the conversion is benign: INFRA-18632

Once that has been established, work can start on maintaining the new Wiki.

I have made Felix an Admin; he can update the permissions to allow
others to edit.
I have added the jmeter and jmeter-pmc groups with read-only access for now.

For other users it will probably be a question of adding individual
permissions when they ask for write access.

Please note that not all of the Moin features have been converted properly.
e.g. there are many instances of formatting that need to be fixed.
I made a start on the Home page -- see the page history.

There are still issues with the conversion, especially:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-18372
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-18268

The attachments issue has been fixed:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-18237
However it's not easy to fix up existing conversions.

If we don't care about page history, then a fresh conversion of JMeter
will probably work well enough (though some pages may need to be
deleted).

If we convert without history, and the history issue is subsequently
fixed, it would require additional work to merge any changes made to
the initial conversion. I would rather not do that, so I have been
waiting for the issue to be fixed.

Obviously by this stage I had hoped that the remaining conversion
issues would have been fixed and we could move ahead with the new Wiki
complete with history.

It might be worth waiting a bit longer before abandoning the idea of
retaining page history.
