I have now tentatively migrated the main page over to <
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pipmak/index.php?title=Main_Page
> and my impression is that it doesn't look too bad. The SourceForge
bar at the top isn't as disturbing anymore as it was in earlier
revisions and the lack of Pipmak-specific appearance, primarily in the
sidebar, is unfortunate but no serious obstacle. Importing pages with
full history seems to work fine, and I can even (manually) filter out
spam revisions. The server seemed a bit slow at times, but I hope that
was a temporary condition. One big advantage, apart from the newer
version and centralized maintenance, is that this wiki can send e-
mail, e.g. for watched pages.
Before I can do the real full import, I now need to know the
SourceForge user names of all past contributors so that I can match
them up with the names stored in the dump. I will contact everyone
concerned separately.
Do not make any edits in the new wiki yet, they would be lost when I
move things over for real - I will announce the time of the cutover
later.
