 * [http://wiki.debian.net wiki.debian.net] is read-only, and a dump of the database is available
 * A script to convert the RCS files into moin moin revision files is fairly easy and will be done by ["Jeroen"].
 * A script to convert the markup from kwiki to moin moin needs to be written, see below.

== Convert markup == == TODO ==
 * Kwiki had switched URL formats and supported through some hack (probably URL rewrite) old links in the form index.cgi?Foo (example : http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerFAQ). This was a switch recent enough so that we still find links with such a form in doc and should support them IMO. Currently these bring to a non-existing index.cgi page. -- FilipusKlutiero
 * The new wiki supports links such as w.d.o/?Foo to bring to Foo. However there's no actual redirection. This seems to highlight a small Moin bug. If you access a page this way, and try deleting the page, you'll be asked for confirmation on the homepage for your language. I wasn't careful or thought that was just a bug and confirmed the deletion. The French PageD'Accueil was deleted (but still exists, since it was regenerated automatically). Hopefully that doesn't happen to the english homepage until it's locked. -- FilipusKlutiero
 * The german equivalent of "FrontPage" is still the default page. Probably the same thing applies for other languages. We should get rid of such "bogus" translations! -- ErichSchubert
 * Deal with WikiLicencingTerms by at least proposing a license for new content. -- FilipusKlutiero
 * there are "broken" links like {package:linux-2.6} and {bts:308555} on some pages -- ErichSchubert
   This could be handled by setting up an "interwiki" named package and debbugs, and then scripting the replacement of above links by e.g. [wiki:package:linux-2.6] That apparently is the way live.gnome.org handles this. -- ErichSchubert
   There is also a "template" plugin for moin (see MoinMoin:macro/CardMacro)... -- TheAnarcat [[DateTime(2006-05-14T23:33:17Z)]]

 * Headers have now also a trailing set of ='s
 * Bold/italic/underscore are different
 * wikiwords that are not {{{StudlyCaps}}} are now {{{["Likethis"]}}} instead of {{{[Likethis]}}}
 * All the rest

  * Some pages were seeming manually copied from wiki.debian.net, I deleted the wiki.debian.org version and put down the wiki.debian.net version with history.

  * Some pages had seeming a much better version history in the .org version, and the .net version was a completely seperate branch, I deleted the wiki.debian.net version, but there still might be good info over there that should be merged into the .org version.
