All,
I want to make sure that we have a new home for our merry band of homebrew
enthusiasts. The date for the PBWiki shutdown is fast approaching, and we
don't have a new working site yet.
I've gone ahead and registered www.retrobrewcomputers.org and I am in the
process of setting up a DocuWiki wiki there for us to start populating in a
new wiki.
My plan forward is the following:
-Today I will be setting up a skeleton of a new wiki
-Tomorrow I will be setting up accounts and sending login information to
everyone who is on the Board Inventory page, to give them an opportunity to
check out the new digs
-Tuesday, I will set the wiki to "Public", which will make the contents
public but require a login to edit. At this point people can request
logins.
-We will need to create new pages and migrate over the information that was
on the old wiki. This would be a good time to clean everything up, make it
nice and organized, and
Some notes:
-I chose Docuwiki because it is a "flat file" wiki that does not require a
database and it is frequently updated. This should ease in any future
migration of the data in the site, avoiding the lock-in with PBWiki.
-I will be setting us up a new GNU Mailman mailing list,
using http://www.nabble.com/ to create a more user-friendly interface for
those who desire it. Again, the use of GNU Mailman is intended to keep our
data in a readily accessible form and avoid walled gardens.
-An archive of this Google Group in HTML form will be available on the new
site.
Note - I will be setting myself up an email address @retrobrewcomputers.org
for people to communicate with me with regards to the site, so my personal
email doesn't get overwhelmed.
I am pretty busy with work for the next month, so any help people can give
to populate the new site will be greatly appreciated. I hope you'll all
join me over there.
