I've been able to recover the pages from archive.org and have also tried Google cache (which failed due to limits on the number of allowed requests) and Yahoo/Bing cache. The latter worked, but only returns a small fraction of the pages we have had in the wiki - about 300+ pages. They are more recent than the archive.org ones, though, so I'm trying to merge the Yahoo archive ones back into the archive.org recovery. I recovered around 4500 pages from archive.org... in HTML. Reimar has a tool to convert them back into wiki markup, which we'll try to use to prepare an import. Meanwhile I'm also trying to see whether we can still extract some data from the broken VM image. It does show traces of the wiki file contents, so the data still exists on the image in some form. Noah already tried extundelete with no success. I'm going to give some of the other tools a try as well, e.g. ext4magic or PhotoRec. > -gps > > > On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 3:00 PM, fwierzbi...@gmail.com < > fwierzbi...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 2:42 PM, Jesse Noller <jnol...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Noah has a new VM ready to go, however it has old information on it. >> Marc-Andre is working on recovering more recent versions of the content >>> >> >> Thanks for the update!
