OK.

I've been struggling to find time to debug some problems I've found with migrating moin 1 wikis to moin 2, which is my own preference for the future. :-( As I've said to a few people over the last couple of years, I'm not going to step in the way of people who might want to work on migrating to a different wiki engine entirely. I'm happy to give people data dupms etc. for them to experiment. However, I'm short of time and motivation to get more involved than that. Particularly I have no desire to be responsible for running anything in PHP (*shudder*). In terms of content, in the past both Paul and I have been involved in content moderation too. I guess there's a random page somewhere that lists him and not me. Meh. I've still been doing that as and when there have been disagreements, but (again, spot the pattern!) I don't have time to do anything proactive here. Help here would be awesome. Various people have offered help over the years and we've started discussions but in the longer term most have wandered off. Paul also has gone quiet lately, which is a shame. I got involved in wiki admin years back, mainly to help deal with the spam problem that we had at the time. Over time, spammers got worse and worse to the extent that it became my main focus. Not enough spammers on fire, etc. :-( -- Steve McIntyre 93...@debian.org Debian wiki admin - wiki.debian.org w...@debian.org
