Wiki

[Jens Granseuer]

So, since the wiki is still broken and doesn't look like it's going to
be fixed any time soon, does anybody have an idea how to at least
extract the data in there in some sort of readable format?

Hi there,

I'll try to rebuilt a phpwiki instance at home to install the wiki as it
was.
Does anyone remember which version of php, mysql, and phpwiki were working
at seul, before they upgraded their systems?

I'll try to do this next week.

Hello,

I've played around the old site.
Altough I am not an expert, I think I can recover the data from the old phpwiki.

provided that I manage to, what sould we do next ?

obviously, due to lack of resources, CF requires a very simple hosting.
Shouldn't we move the project to sourceforge ( which provides
mediawiki by default ) or Google Code ( ugly but very simple ) ?

Why not both?

For example, because keeping a project site up to date is work that I
don't feel I want to do twice. Plus I don't see any benefits at all. To
be honest, I don't see any reason to move away from SEUL, either. An
infrastructure change like this (well, version upgrade) could hit with
any other host, too, and it's really just the wiki that's making
problems.

Moving requires effort, and unless there's an obvious benefit, I don#t
see the need to expend it.

I'd prefer to simply move to a more state-of-the-art wiki software,
ideally one that can export its data in a useful format (like static
html) and provides means to migrate the data on version upgrades.

Hi Guys,

Well, I hoped and I failed....
I did not manage to rebuilt the wiki at home, using a sql dump of what is at
seul.

I am not an expert at LAMP, so someone may achieve a better outcome.

most docs I've found on the net assume that the PHP part is still working.
At least, this could have allowed to extract a ZIPped copy of the
html-rendered pages.

In the mysql base, the pages are not strored as clear text, it is coded
somehow ( not idea how exactly ).
I posted a message on the sourceforge phpwiki page to get help
no answer yet at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwiki/forums/forum/18929/topic/3397403

too bad
