Is it ok to migrate an entire page from TikiWiki, l= eaving a "This page has moved to ..." message there?

No! Copy them, don't move 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 improve the quality of lojbanic wik= i

then I'm sure we will officially move. What lojbanistan consist= s of if not of active jbopre?

OK, I h= aven't touched anything yet :)

But if we appear to be lazy, inactive then the = answer is "do not rock the boat! Leave everything as it is!"
Howe= ver, as at least two active people (lindar and J Camaron) were dissapointed= with the current wiki
I wanna urge you to develop this wiki so t= hat normal people, not only geeks can start styudying and enjoying&n= bsp;this language.

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 help.

P.S. If anybody can theore= tically migrate the whole Twiki to Mediawiki using some script please infor= m me.

Theoretically it's possible.<= /div>

1. Obtain a dump file of the Twiki: it should be a= t [1], but the page just says "file not found"

2. Convert it to a= format that MediaWiki understands: there is a script by someone at [2]

3. Import the result to MediaWiki: note that this may slow down vric= i

I can test the process with a MediaWiki on my se= rver, if I can get my hands on the Twiki dump.

Also it's possible= to apply small transformations to each page like assigning categories.

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

I think discussions fo= und in Twiki should stay there. Reasons:

* This is= my personal opinion but wiki is ill-suited for discussions and conver= sations.

* We're making a fresh start, so why not keep it = clean?

* The Discussion tab in Wikipedia/MediaWiki is for discuss= ions *about* the main page it corresponds to.

* Old discus= sions in Twiki do not have a corresponding page that they're talking about.=
