Hi OSM Talk, In the near future we will be moving the old forum.osm.org content to community.openstreetmap.org If you used the old forum, please login to the test import site https://forum-import-test.openstreetmap.org/ to check your old posts. The imported content is at the bottom half of the test import site. The database snapshot used for the test is from 02 Feb 2023. The old forum has 847000+ posts by 35000+ users in 91 categories. The longest thread has 14700+ posts! The old forum used fluxbb bbcode markdown, while community.openstreetmap.org uses discourse's flavour of markdown. The import markdown conversion can never be 100%, but it now appears to have reached "good enough". We heavily extended the original fluxbb discourse importer with additional features: * Significantly improved fluxbb bbcode -> discourse markdown converter, including fixes. * Added Permalink support (To test for now use old forum url path + parameters on forum-import-test.openstreetmap.org) * OSM specific old forum to community account merging allowing seamless login using osm.org account oauth flow. * Added unit tests We are trying to contribute the improvements upstream where appropriate. There will also be a few tasks the forum governance team will be responsible for post final import, notably: * Manually merge duplicate categories (eg: country categories) * Mark old abandoned categories as read-only. * Manually merge duplicate users where the importer did not automatically merge (very limited cases). Big thank you to Harry Wood, Tom Hughes and others who have helped write code, fix bugs or assisted in other ways. Kind regards, Grant Part of the OpenStreetMap Ops Team _______________________________________________ talk mailing list t...@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
