[N8VEM: 20311] New Wiki Upcoming @ www.retrobrewcomputers.org

[Andrew Bingham]

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.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for doing this. I really appreciate the effort that goes into
setting this up.

I will certainly support the content migration to the new Wiki.

Five days is not much time to do so though... I hope Andrew will give us a
bit more time before shutting down the old Wiki or make the export of the
old Wiki available.

Thanks,

Wayne

Count me in. I've not contributed much to the existing wiki nor the google
group, but I've benefitted immensely from the projects here. It's time to
give back I guess and like the Docuwiki interface.

Let me know what I can do to help.

Thanks for taking this on.

Kudos for the mailman.

Currently Google has jailed the existing data and there's no option to
export the topic discussions. There's no official API for this, and
also the content (text) isn't readily scrape-able, as it's rendered in
runtime by Javascript (and there are tons of checks everywhere to make
sure this code runs in real browser). So no way to scrape via wget and
friends.

Regards,
Nikolay

Actually there are links that will give a list of topics, a list of posts
in a topic, and individual messages in a text only format.

See the archive I created of the N8VEM-S100 group which John M. has posted
here - http://www.s100computers.com/N8VEM_Archive/maillist.html

Andrew,

Any progress? Time is drawing nigh!

Again, let me know what I can do to help. I'm willing to do what I can in
my spare time to help get this setup.

Hi Andrew,

I have files I downloaded over the last couple of years on PCBs I bought so I don’t know if they are current, but you are welcome to them. I never could figure out how to do a mass FTP transfer the other night so I may not have the latest versions. Please let me know if you need me to help populate the new site. Thank you in advance.
