Hi,

Up until now, the Trafodion project has been using a wiki at 
www.trafodion.org<http://www.trafodion.org>. This wiki will likely be migrated 
to Apache-preferred technologies (it is in MediaWiki now). That will take some 
time. Alice Chen has pointed out a possible tool to help automate this, but it 
will take some time. For one thing, contributor workflow pages will have to be 
rewritten to reflect the newer Apache workflow. For another, the Community 
pages will need drastic revision (all the governance stuff is replaced by 
pointers to Apache pages; the team pages are revised to list PMC, committers, 
contributors, for example).

In the short term, I'd like to suggest that we put pointers between old and new.

On the old wiki, www.trafodion.org<http://www.trafodion.org>, I propose 
initially to put a note on the main page saying that Trafodion has moved to 
Apache incubation, and put a link to the new Apache-based wiki there. I'm 
guessing this is not controversial.

On the new wiki, I propose initially putting a note that this site is under 
construction, and giving a pointer back to 
www.trafodion.org<http://www.trafodion.org>. Question for mentors: Is this 
permissible? (For example, the www.trafodion.org<http://www.trafodion.org> site 
boasts that Trafodion was developed with HP Labs. I suppose this could be taken 
as a commercial endorsement?)

As new workflow and community-oriented pages are created on the new wiki, I 
propose creating links on the relevant pages on the old wiki pointing to the 
content on the new. So, for example, after we migrate the code to Apache 
infrastructure, we would delete the related workflow material on the old wiki, 
document the new workflow on the new wiki, and place a pointer from old to new.

What do you think?

I'd like to move forward on the "initially" parts of this proposal within a 
week if possible; the workflow and contributor replacement stuff later.

Thanks,

Dave
