The core OI developer and documentation teams are probably already stretched
pretty thin as it is maintaining the “official” project documentation; perhaps
some highly motivated individual out there like yourself could spin up a server
(outside the openindiana.org domain) to set up an external OI user wiki to
achieve the goals you mentioned? That would take some of the time burden off
the already small oi-dev team from also having to wear additional hats as wiki
administrators and having to continuously keep info on the wiki in sync with
the project’s reference documentation
As soon as wiki data is available, it can be started with migration so
that it is secure to deploy.
It does not depend on me to make data available to deploy, currently it
is made unavailable and that is the issue.

The wiki has been shut down for security reasons. Most of its contents
has already been merged into the docs. Some pages have been exported and
are available for the documentation team.
I think most of Wiki it is not moved anywhere but by turning off wiki is just
made unavailable.
Security reasons are not quite valid reason, because new instance of Wiki can
be started ,license is provided as before and also it were already updated
before with version of Wiki.
Important functionality of the Wiki, being able to freely create and enhance
wiki pages is unavailable and is very valuable. (As Wikipedia as an example of
freely editable content proves for decades).
Process that requires strict subjection to other members approvals to edit
wiki-like content hinders user freedom and creativity, like proposed docs pages
with github , being external service, and not including all the content
available before but just a small subset.
Deciding on private mailing list, hidden from the wider audience is the
reflection of closed and exclusive projects and subjecting changes and
hindering wiki functionality is in line with the censorship.
I am of the opinion that no great and explosive progress and widening the user
base is possible on tightly restricted and secretly controlled processes that
hinder creativity.
Free users and contributors should not be subjected to article approvals by few
and affected by secret mailing lists not available to the public, as OI is
doing, that is not the signature of community and free software projects in
general.
