The most obvious issue is how ugly the new main page is :) The loss of image inclusion and columns transformed an admittedly not perfect page (disclaimer: I authored it) into something unreadable and very unwelcoming. Note that it's probably the only page that uses column layout, so maybe we can just special case the main page rather than write a generic column-handler. Image inclusion however is a bit more problematic, as it's being used in several pages (like http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation/Translation/Status) that are now broken. The second most obvious issue is the loss of the OpenStack theme on all pages: it would be good to theme the wiki before we complete the transition. Other issues to watch for before completing the transition: * Broken table layouts, and no more cell background colors: See examples at https://wiki-staging.openstack.org/wiki/GrizzlyReleaseSchedule or https://wiki-staging.openstack.org/wiki/Releases * URL: The new wiki URL appear under a wiki/ subdirectory: https://wiki-staging.openstack.org/wiki/Projects -- would be great to make sure that once the migration is completed they can still be accessed from previous URLs (http://wiki.openstack.org/Projects) so that we don't have to change URL pointers from other sites. * <<TableOfContents>>: we used that macro on a lot of pages -- but I guess we could abandon them * Protected pages: A limited number of pages are protected in the old wiki (mostly governance pages, main page and list of official projects) to avoid random edits -- will this feature be kept ? > We're going to leave the wiki up for a couple days in this state.

I fear we are more than just a couple of days away from being able to migrate content in a "mostly agreeable" way, but you're the expert :) -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
