Hi all - tl;dr: Migration of wiki.openstack.org from MoinMoin to Mediawiki commences 12/17. Service will continue with Mediawiki as the wiki engine after 12/21.
While the MoinMoin engine served its purpose to get started, it makes sense for us to move to Mediawiki and bring the wiki instances into the CI umbrella for better maintenance and ongoing work. Here's the timeline for this move: - migration test Monday 12/17 - cleaning up and testing new wiki site 12/18-20 - go-live 12/21 In the spirit of the hols, we are grateful to Mediawiki's Ryan Lane for offering to set up a Mediawiki instance for OpenStack projects to use. The CI team and Ryan have puppetized the infrastructure which standardizes another tool set in the common CI platform. This move solves quite a few problems with spam, notification ghosts, tables being crazy, pages becoming corrupt, and gives us licensed CC-By wiki content. For some historical background, we never had a true license agreement assigned to wiki content. (Oh, the shame, says the doc coordinator.) The wiki footer has indicated Apache 2.0 licensing for all the projects, and we want to be respectful of all wiki content and indicate a license more clearly. To this end, we have talked with the OpenStack Foundation board about licensing all content CC-By, including the wiki, and they are amenable. Your wiki logins will continue to work through Launchpad IDs. We'll send another email with a URL for testing and clean up work. Any questions? Feel free to ask me, Anne Gentle, or pop into #openstack-infra and ask away. Proud dwellers of wikistan, Anne, Ryan, and the CI team
