No!  

Is it ok to migrat= e an entire page from TikiWiki, leaving a "This page has moved to ..." mess= age there?

No! Copy them, don't m= ove them for now. Don't touch the old wiki for now.

The answer is pretty simple. If we show that we are active and able to im= prove the quality of lojbanic wiki
then I'm sure we will official= ly move. What lojbanistan consists of if not of active jbopre?

OK, I haven't touched anything yet :)
&= nbsp;
But if we appear to= be lazy, inactive then the answer is "do not rock the boat! Leave everythi= ng as it is!"
However, as at least two active people (lindar and = J Camaron) were dissapointed with the current wiki
I wanna urge y= ou to develop this wiki so that normal people, not only geeks can start sty= udying and enjoying this language.

<= /div>
I'm going to work on the Community Portal page so that it gives a= nice overview of
what you can do to help and where you can get h= elp.
 
P.S= . If anybody can theoretically migrate the whole Twiki to Mediawiki using s= ome script please inform me.
 
Theore= tically it's possible.

1. Obtain a dump file of th= e Twiki: it should be at [1], but the page just says "file not found"
=
2. Convert it to a format that MediaWiki understands: there is a scrip= t by someone at [2]
3. Import the result to MediaWiki: note that = this may slow down vrici

I can test the process wi= th a MediaWiki on my server, if I can get my hands on the Twiki dump.
=
Also it's possible to apply small transformations to each page like as= signing categories.


Pages for geeks can always be moved under "Discussions" tab as it is acce= pted in Wikipedia. (Twiki lacks this feature).

<= /div>
I think discussions found in Twiki should stay there. Reasons:

* This is my personal opinion but wiki is ill-s= uited for discussions and conversations.
  * We're making a = fresh start, so why not keep it clean?
* The Discussion tab in Wi= kipedia/MediaWiki is for discussions *about* the main page it corresponds t= o.
  * Old discussions in Twiki do not have a corresponding = page that they're talking about.

.ua = .i'e If you also think so then no need for any dumps (and I won't cont= act anyone). Then we are creating that one would call "Lojban for everyone = on the planet"  as opposed to the old wiki that might be called "Lojba= n for geeks". Let's continue manual work.
