Hi Glen, Each page on the legacy wiki has a bright yellow header on it linking to the new site, so I don't think too many users are going to be confused as to which is the current site. That header could be modified to be more clear about the status of the site.
While the technical information on the legacy wiki is in many cases out of date, there are also over 3600 pages on the legacy wiki representing the history of the JSPWiki project. One of the main points of a wiki is that history is not destroyed. Closing down the legacy site would represent the destruction of all of the history of the project. Some people may not find history interesting or valuable, but there are likewise some that do. It would be a real shame to lose all of that history, as there is likely an enormous amount of information that might be still valuable to the future of the project. If maintaining the old site is something that Janne considers a burden, fair enough, but I'd prefer to take Janne's statement to the point at which when he wants to stop hosting the site. We are still copying (and editing) content over from the legacy site. I don't know that you might mean by 'bulk' -- I wouldn't expect to take anywhere near half of that 3603 pages -- but for all of the content we do copy/edit over to the new site, I expect that might take some time. If Janne has a rough deadline for shutting down the old site it would be good to know what that is. Janne? [...and if it becomes an issue we (Neocortext) might consider hosting the legacy content, either temporarily or indefinitely. We wouldn't host anything except the most current pages, and it would also depend on how much space those pages take up.] Ichiro On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 4:40 PM, Glen Mazza <glen.ma...@gmail.com> wrote: > To a point, once the bulk of necessary information is on on Apache servers > I feel it would be better to sever the link to the ecyrd site; it's loaded > with a lot of obsolete stuff.
