Hi everybody, Just some news on the darcs-gitit migration.
Here are some issues related to this. I think the blockers have been fixed, so I'm going to work out how to lock the Moin DB for writing now. - Converting the moin history to darcs. Done 2009-04-13. Thanks, Trent! - Not viewable in some configurations. (the happstack compression bug) Fixed 2009-04-15 by upgrading to darcs version of happstack and rebuilding gitit as needed - SLOW In progress. I'm hoping we can help fix some of the issues by implementing a --max-count switch during the hackathon and maybe even getting the filecache work into darcs. - http://bugs.darcs.net/issue984 - http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1437 - Syntax still in MoinMoin (whereas we are treating it as RST). Conversion in progress. I have pushed a patch which performs an initial conversion of just the front page to RST format. - Moin database has about 1 month of changes to merge in, probably by hand. In progress - Our wiki software is named *git*it even though it's using a darcs repository. This may be bad marketing, so we'll have to work out a gentle way to dealing with this, probably by reminding folks in the template to darcs get the repo - LICENSING: since we're thinking about it, how about adopting a formal license for all new content? The haskell.org wiki uses a "simple permissive license" which is the closest practical thing to public domain they could get: Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining this work (the "Work"), to deal in the Work without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Work, and to permit persons to whom the Work is furnished to do so.
