This afternoon the restore of WIMA on a new server localized in California, USA, has been completed. It'll last about 24 hours until name servers world wide have adapted to the IP number (that's technical talk) of the new server. Then WIMA will be accessible on its current web address, http://icking-music-archive.org/ The cost of the new server is sponsored by an IT company in my home town Arhus, Denmark; a company providing IT services for cultural institutions like The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus, the school of music which hosted WIMA from 2003 til 2007. Massimo Capozza has generously undertaken the restore operations. Massimo is owner of Choralia, a site providing training aids for choral singers, and IT manager for CPDL, The Choral Public Domain Library. Massimo will also manage future server side hosting operations. The Choral Public Domain Library provides the vital backup of WIMA data on another server owned by CPDL. WIMA opens with an unchanged user interface; you'll hardly experience any difference. It is my long term plan, though, to migrate WIMA to a MediaWiki site having a user interface closely related to that of CPDL (and IMSLP, The International Music Score Library Project). WIMA and CPDL will remain independent, distinct sites. I expect, however, that related site technologies will facilitate a closer cooperation between WIMA and CPDL, thereby reducing the vulnerability of WIMA. Unfortunately this means that we have to set aside an ambitious development of WIMA2, a fully database driven, fully searchable WIMA interface. Martin Packham, long term WIMA contributor, has spent 2 years of invaluable efforts in that project. Hopefully the planned MediaWiki interface can benefit from insight and knowledge gained through that project. Massimo Capozza has created a new bulletin board frame work for discussion of various WIMA issues like the preparation of a future MediWiki interface. Within short I'll add links to the bulletin boards and encourage you to join the preparations for the future WIMA. When WIMA reopens I must be prepared for errors caused by the restore. So I'll need a period for consolidating WIMA on its new server. In this period I'll not add new scores to WIMA. When I'm confident with the restore I'll add new upload instructions to WIMA's welcoming page.
