We've already had two near-death experiences with it yet we're still in the exact same situation: we're using complicated software with no official support from Infra and reliance on a single volunteer sys admin. This is asking for trouble. If we really want to rely on something we should mot be in this situation. We need a plan for increasing the base of support, either within the project, or by getting Infra to officially support MWiki. -Rob > Regards, > Andrea.
