Hi Lars,

If I wanted to contribute something to the wiki, should I do it on new-wiki.xen.org, wiki.xen.org or just wait until you have everything migrated ?

Hi everybody,

Rackspace Hosting has offered the Xen.org community to host xen.org services and we have started migration last week. The expectation is that all services will be migrated by Nov the 21st. There will be a number of services where there may be short downtimes. These will be announced in due course.

Xen.org has already been migrated.

We have a new MediaWiki (in testing) and we will be retiring the old MoinMoin Wiki. For now, you can check out the new Wiki on http://new-wiki.xen.org. Note that only a few pages have been migrated so far and I played with the categories.

The expectation is that
- Pages marked as "Keep" in http://tinyurl.com/78fry5y will be migrated first
- The old Wiki will become read-only and we also will publish converted markup for the old Wiki. Test snapshots of these can be found at http://new-wiki.xen.org/old-wiki/ & http://new-wiki.xen.org/old-wiki-converted/ - most pages appear to translate fairly nicely, except those with images and macros
- Some pages, such as http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/VirtualPrivateServerProviders may be migrated to the static xen.org site (TBD)

We intentionally do not want to wholesale migrate all content as so much is out-of-date. The move to the new Wiki
The detailed timing (i.e. exactly when we will switch off the old instance off is still to be determined). But it will have to be before Nov 21st. Note that you can already sign up as users: we will not migrate MoinMoin users.

We will leave the look and feel as a basic Media Wiki for now, but will make improvements and install additional plug-ins, etc. in due course.

I will let you know more on the timing on the other services on Wednesday

Regards
Lars
