hey ...
After Phase 1 of the website transition in June (the Auth switch) we`ll
start finalizing preparations for the Phase 2 content move to XWiki in
August. Chris has already built content migration tools and tested them
internally, but we`ll do some external tests as well. More on those
tests soon.
But to start getting ready for the content migrations later this summer,
we would appreciate it if you could poke around your communities,
projects, and user groups and clean up things a bit. In other words, if
you know you have content that is out of date and will eventually be
deleted, there is really no reason to migrate all of that to XWiki. We
have about 10,000 pages on the site, so if we can trim some of the dead
stuff that would be good. And don`t forget to look at your attachments.
There are about 5,000 attachments on the site, but only 1,500 are linked
to web pages so I would imagine that some of those attachments have been
forgotten and could be trimmed as well. We are doing our own audits of
the non-collective common pages on the site and looking at where we can
cut and consolidate and move stuff around.
The same goes for any dead projects or lists you have. I have been
working with some groups recently to help clean up their unused
infrastructure, and we`ve already deleted 15 lists and a few forums and
projects. I have a list of another 20 mailing lists that were opened
long ago but are not being used any more, so I`m working my way through
those as well to find owners and check status.
And finally, there are 33 unopened projects and 6 unopened communities
on the site. If you proposed any of these groups and got them approved
but have them in a hidden state, ping me on project-setup so we can get
these things owned and opened or deleted. Some of these groups have been
in this state for years now, so I`ll be working my way through that list
in the next week contacting people to check status.
So, if you could help us with some spring cleaning, we`d all appreciate
it very much. Thanks ...
