[Development] Resolving the wiki situtation
Hello! I assume everyone is aware of the current situation of us having two different wikis: one at wiki.qt-project.org and one at qt-project.org/wiki. It was never planned to happen that way, but sometimes plans don't really work out the way I think. :P Anyway, the current situation is stupid, and I have a plan to fix it. Starting from Thursday next week, we will copy the pages that currently live on wiki.qt-project.org over to qt-project.org/wiki, below the Developing Qt category. It's not the perfect way of doing things but after long discussions, we agreed that it is the most pragmatic. So. If you currently have pages in the making that haven't hit the wiki yet, please create them on qt-project.org/wiki to spare us extra work. If you have pages that you really care about being associated with your name, you should probably move them yourself. :) Let me know if you have any questions.

Will the old pages redirect to the new one or will the domain wiki.qt-project.org completely die after thursday? Ideally former since we have lots of pages in wiki.qt-project.org but I can live with the fact that it will completely die. I had also suggested that we make wiki.qt-project.org read-only to Quim. Do you think we can just lock it starting this weekend? Ideally I would want wiki.qt-project.org to point to the valid wiki (which is now at qt-project.org/wiki). I really don't think we should spend time and effort keeping backwards compatibility with the old wiki entries. I was hoping we could have a simple url rewrite, but I agree no more effort. Some of our pages (like devices - http://wiki.qt-project.org/Devices which went out in yesterday's blog post) will all be broken. But as I said, I can live with that :) Girish ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development

Re: [Development] Resolving the wiki situtation
I do propose that we freeze http://wiki.qt-project.org/ giving editing permissions only to http://wiki.qt-project.org/index.php?title=Special:ListUsersgroup=sysop and seting a deprecation period of 6? months. At the date agreed the wiki would be switched off. In the meantime the pages that matter can be soft redirected e.g. http://wiki.qt-project.org/Events/Qt_Contributors_Summit On 04/13/2012 09:19 AM, ext marius.storm-ol...@nokia.com wrote: Just copy the content over to the new wiki, and update the blog post. Not that trivial with a page like http://wiki.qt-project.org/QtonPi/Device_program/Accepted - a page started well before a new wiki was in the horizon. Or http://wiki.qt-project.org/QtonPi - a URL that is now in many places, most of us not controlled by us. Don't get me wrong. I'm all fine in having just one wiki. It's just that it takes some time to move content properly. Before moving all the QtonPi pages I'd like to check with the QtonPi developers (hundreds) what is the best next step forward. For instance, a DevNet group comes to mind. -- Quim ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
