Before getting rid of the old Wiki, the community should look through it page-by-page and move all the important still-valid stuff to the new Wiki. To avoid losing anything of value! Of course, if the contribution process to the new Wiki would've been a real-time WYSIWYG write&publish process just like at so many established successful Wikis - and without requiring the upvotes from other people to commit each contribution! - there'd be a lot more activity and this would have already happened. I believe that the current process of contributing to the coreboot documentation is inefficient, and not just me. On one of 3mdeb's past vBeers, Alexey Vazhnov described how tricky could it be to get merged the coreboot docs and shared his experiences at this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/coreboot/comments/lm7jh8/my_pain_with_documentation_contribution_in/ Old wiki died because the people willing to contribute were prevented from doing so by a closed registration roadblock and had to go elsewhere with their manuals - which now are scattered all over the Internet, i.e. stuff like this could've been on a coreboot wiki - http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Flashing_KB9012_with_Bus_Pirate#Crafting_the_interface . But, if the simplification of Wiki contribution process isn't done out of fear of bots/spammers, you can always set up an advanced math captcha like _____||| 3*x^7 + x^6 + 2*x^5 + 4*x^4 + 4*x^3 lim ------------------------------------------ x->0 ||| 5*x^5 + 4*x^4 + 3*x^3 which takes a minute to learn how to solve even if you don't know how at the moment.
