Hello, 

A fundamental question first:
The "CMS migration" won't touch the wiki content? Right?

(i mean: wiki.openoffice.org)

Sorry, but:
What you are proposing here is an extremely large amount of work, _work that 
needs to be done carefully_.

If we make mistakes, the loss of information will be a disaster. Not 
necessarily for the project, but for millions of users.
For example, there are (probably) tens of thousands of websites that link to 
pages from openoffice.org. Our goal must be to maintain or redirect these link 
targets. 


I don't understand:
Why is migration necessary at all?
I don't like the fact that programmers here spend time with this discussion 
(and possibly later with the migration), because the (unfortunately) few 
programmers we have should concentrate fully on the further development of the 
program.

No, that's not a stupid idea. I explicitly support this idea, less as a 
memorial but rather as an archive and backup.



greetings,
