Out of curiosity, I scraped the kernel wiki and put it into gollum. The results are here, if people want to see what it looks like: https://github.com/peff/foo/wiki It's extremely quick and dirty, which is why I didn't put it in the actual git/git/wiki spot you made. Some of the formatting is off (note that I didn't do any conversion; it understands mediawiki natively), and some of the content is probably missing (my scraper was extremely naive). For a real import I would try to get the actual wiki db from kernel.org and import the entire history. I dunno what the next step would be. I would really prefer a git-backed wiki, but moving to something like this is a pretty big step in workflow for people who use the current wiki. I would be curious to hear general opinions (on the idea of moving, assuming we did a conversion that actually looked good). I'll change the subject and see if we get any comments. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
