Wiki Migration Pending

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To give you some heads-up, I'm migrating web hosts, and so there will
be some downtime for the to-do list as it stands on the wiki (if it's
still in use - I haven't been paying much attention to it recently).
I'm migrating to a Virtual Private Server, and I'm expecting downtimes
of about three hours.  Absolute worst-case scenario is about two weeks
of downtime, though I have a plan that *should* circumvent that.

I am thinking about not installing the wiki on the VPS system, since
it seems to do a good job of collecting spam.  I will, however, have a
tool called GForge(1) on the site.  I will be using it to track my own
projects, though kernel janitors are perfectly welcome to use it if
you want.  It has a built-in wiki, though it also has a tracking
system (for bug reports and to-do list items), which I would think
would make it a better tool for the job.  Unfortunately, I haven't
been able to do hardly any kernel hacking, so I'm not very qualified
at all to make that kind of a decision.

If you're really adverse to the idea of using something other than
MediaWiki I can try to install it on the new VPS system, that's no
problem either.  It's just a bit harder for me, since this is the
first time I've really had to configure all this software from the
ground up.

I'm expecting to start the migration within two to three weeks, and I
will keep backups of everything from the old site - just in case.

Aside from the inconvenience, the good news is that the new site will
not be anywhere near as slow as the current one.  The shared server
I'm on is incredibly overloaded, and because of policy issues it's
impossible to make it better.  The VPS host is also connected to
Internap, which - in my experience - is a really fast network, so the
site should be even more responsive.

Thanks for your patience, and have a nice day!
