This is good news. Eric, what do you say to setting up a fresh Gitit wiki with this content today/ASAP? People can convert the moinmoin-markedup-articles to Markdown/RST (did we decide which we wanted our wiki to default to?) as they please (on a case-by-base basis); and a public darcs repo lets people pull and experiment with scripts to do the conversion en masse. (Admittedly, if people are pulling and hacking, then presumably someone later doing 'darcs obliterate' on pairs of spam-unspam patches will mess up their patches. But I don't think that's terribly important.) More importantly, we can close down the MoinMoin wiki before any more valuable effort gets spent on it. This reduces uncertainty and tentativeness. -- gwern _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
