the wiki is online again. you can follow the links on
 http://openjump.org
.

for now there is no registration or editing. that will come in a next step, as 
users will have to reregister and i have the permissions not properly set up so 
far.

the webspace is located in germany and should be sufficiently responsive and 
fast from all over the world.

here are the reasons why i ended up there:

why not sf.net?

because my other much smaller wiki is disastrously slow. the pages need several 
seconds most of the time, sometimes even longer. especially when you try to 
edit something ending up with timeouts is a deal breaker.

other 'free' mediawiki hosters?

i had a look around. but it already started with me having the old wiki in form 
of an sql dump and the files in an archive. this is simply not the format these 
services allow to import. they prefer an xml export, that unfortunately omits 
all image files.
the same issue would have hit us when moving from one hoster to another. there 
are scripts avail to export mediawiki via API calls and web access, but that 
was something i definitely didn't wanted to invest effort in.

so far, so jumpy.. ede
