It was never designed to be portable like the web pages (which are also
generated by PmWiki).
This will be case if we migrate to ANY service, and aussie is unlikely
to stay very long.
No, not if we migrate to any service. If we migrate to a server which is
called www.lyx.org and can place some directories where we want them,
migration is straight forward.
Hmm... I just realized that one thing I'll miss if I don't have full
access. It's the ability to change ownership and permission of certain
files and directories. This can sometimes be problematic when doing some
stuff with the wiki/web. That's sometthing which will make things a little
bit more difficult for me (acting as an administrator).
A more important drawback might be how to allow users' to upload files
to the wiki. This is _not_ being done via PmWiki, but through some
other file manager. I have no idea if we can get that working on SF. Or
indeed if this is even something that's allowed...
My website is based on sf.net/pmwiki and users could upload files,
using pmwiki's upload facility.
Yes, and I assume they are stored under 'persistent'. However, we don't
use the upload facility in PmWiki because it's really poor. Please note
that we don't have to use the current file manager (IPFM), but we could
use any file manager that SF allows.
Do you know if SF allows more or less anyone to upload files to their
servers? Or rather, if we're allowed to activate software that in turn
allows others to share files using a SF server?
Doing any major file change in such a web-based file system is slow. I
could check out and rsync in seconds...(not using aussie though).
What do you mean with 'web-based'? I'm doing it on top of 'sftp'?
