I seem to remember a thread from back in early August with Craig and others claiming that they were in the process of transferring over the Wiki from Sourceforge to MediaWiki. Craig (and maybe others) mentioned that they had full recent backup copies so the material should still exist. So, I guess I am asking whether the maintainer(s) of the Wiki are aware of the problem and if so is there a solution in progress? If not, what do we need to do to restore the wiki? Given the number of FAQ posts that take up a good portion of the bandwidth of this group, it seems like we would all be served by having the wiki restored. -- Come build with us!

It's MediaWiki, apparently, and here's the relevant help page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Managing_files I'm not sure if the toolbox appears if you're logged in, but it's certainly not there when I look at it. -- Come build with us!

I think the problem is that I don't have authoring or editing permissions (or at least so it said when I attempted to edit the source page). -- Come build with us!

In case anyone was wondering, to edit a page, you click on "view source". Well, maybe that changes to "edit" once you have permission ... But I've found the navigation, from where you should be able to reach most wiki pages (there are some listed as orphaned). Well, it *was* the navigation, but I still think it needs major restructuring. Actually, I think it needs a structure :-). In any case, here it is: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Space.menu At least, we can again provide links to existing wiki pages ...

I agree. I'm sorry I haven't done anything about this. Unfortunately SF didn't do a very good job with their "automatic transition", and I'm a complete neophyte when it comes to MediaWiki. Currently I'm the only MediaWiki admin (by default, not by design :)). I don't think it's possible to open editing to everyone on MediaWiki with the way that SF has installed it, based on this ticket: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/3638 At a minimum you need an SF account, and then editing permission needs to be added using the MediaWiki admin interface. I'm happy to add MediaWiki admin privileges to a couple of motivated contributors (I just added Holger), who can then in turn add editing permission to any SF user who requests it. Please send me your requests off list. It would be really great if we could repair (and then improve) the wiki. Craig -- Come build with us!
