Two things two note: 1) If we can't get the documentation with attribution or under an appropriate license we should not host it under Apache Servers. In other words the Wiki as it is now, is dead and only for backup purposes. 2) Looking around, a lot of the information is obsolete, or made obsolete as part of the migration, and is probably not worth migrating at all. Some of this also applies to the Web Pages: in particular mentions to CVS, Development team, EIS and SUN specific infrastructure, QA will probably see changes, etc ..). It's something we will have to sort out once we have the information in it's final development environment. > With these changes, I would be happy to put a copy of the > wiki dump on one of the old OOo servers so that it could be > pulled by any ooo-dev developers. > It's nice to have that dump to attempt the confluence conversion. The tools do support extracting information from the database: https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/UWC/UWC+Mediawiki+Notes but we don't want people to run password crackers on the database, so removing all user/password information would be fine. Again, thanks for taking the time to help rescue this in a sensible form and enjoy Greece if you're still there! Pedro.
