My main issue with the wiki, is if someone for good or bad reason destroy a page, or change the wiki yet another time we will loose all of what's inside it.
I don't think that content destruction is actually possible as servers are backed up, and, also any deletion on the wiki is final only before you remove whole server installation and database entries. Also, there is quite number of files that are spread on people computers, so recreating content, even if hosting just shuts down whole operation, is just a matter of time. I'm pretty sure that no one even consider to shut down wikies before giving some time to take files and articles to other place.
Who can actually said, that all of the stuff present in the old-en.o.o was now in en.o.o
It is not, but old-en.o.o is still there and it will be for some time, at least as long as Novell will keep server up. There are few reasons to keep it running: - Expense for virtualized server that is not used is very low. - Transferring content is time consuming operation and we can't move content that has historic importance, with number of contributors we have now. The problem is that wiki can take files up to 4 MB, which is not that big, and wiki is not able to present svg files, so one would have to download them to see what they are about. There are workrounds, like manually creating icons, but that is a lot of work too. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
