Hello! It has been my plan for a long time, but needed to much work effort to be done immediatelly. So I postponed it. Has now perhaps the time come to revisit this topic, in context of just having lost http (port 80) access to the machine hosting the Hurd wiki?
Driving both a homepage, <http://hurd.gnu.org/>, that is very infrequently updated, plus a wiki, (read-only mirror available at <http://www.thomas.schwinge.homeip.net/hurd-wiki/>), that gets some more care, seems a bit too much. So what about merging them? Of course the wiki's current appearance doesn't match up with the ``solid'' appearance of the Hurd homepage, so some work is needed there. But does anyone disagree in general with merging the Hurd wiki into the Hurd homepage? Technically, <http://hurd.gnu.org/> would then show the Hurd wiki, having the old homepage's sites incorporated. The wiki edit links would take the editor to a Hurd machine (hosted by Barry), running a CGI-enabled web server on some non-standard port, i.e., not port 80. There, the editing is done -- the wiki engine is running there as usually. Then, I'll periodically merge back changes that have been done there into the official repository serving the hurd.gnu.org pages -- potentially after having made them fit to gnu.org web guidelines. Comments? Regards, Thomas
