I'm preparing for a migration of the libvirt wiki off the host it is currently running on, to OpenShift hosting. This isn't entirely straightforward, as I'm also upgrading the version of mediawiki and as a result had to re-write the CSS customization from scratch. I may well have messed something up, so would appreciate if people could have a quick look at this testing instance of the wiki and confirm that it looks / works reasonably for them. http://wiki-libvirt.rhcloud.com NB, any edits you make in this test instance will be discarded when I load a fresh database dump from the current live wiki. If all looks good, I'll look at getting DNS updated to switch over later this week.

A related topic: At a future point in time, the libvirt Wiki could probably be migrated to Git-based static-site generator project Middleman? Most recently, two projects that I know of have made the switch (RDO Project & oVirt).

If there's enough interest, Red Hat's Open Source and Standards (OSAS) team could be asked to help with their experience migrating other upstream projects from MediaWiki to Middleman. -- /kashyap -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

We already have a static website maintained in GIT and get essentially zero end user contributions to it. A wiki is intended to be quick & easy for people to just directly create content without having to learn any tools or process beyond their web browser

It also brings them somehow closer to development, having to enjoy the finesse of working with Git, etc...

The main advantage is that their is review to the content being edited proactively.
