<br>
There was a CentOS Docs SIG day happening on monday after Fosdem and <br>
during that day, we started to discuss the future of <a href="http://wiki.centos.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">wiki.centos.org</a>.<br>
<br>
As a reminder : <a href="https://wiki.centos.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.centos.org</a> is actually powered by moin <br>
(<a href="http://moinmo.in/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://moinmo.in/</a>), which is :<br>
- python 2.x based<br>
- unmaintained<br>
<br>
It's also running on CentOS Linux 7 (for these requirements), itself <br>
going EOL next year. Also worth adding that it's under constant spammer <br>
load, with plenty of bots trying to write content, be denied, and trying <br>
in a different way, so it's really a "whack a mole" game.<br>
<br>
For all these reasons, it has to be replaced by something else, (still a <br>
wiki) or even better, be decommissioned entirely and eventually moved to <br>
a git workflow.<br>
<br>
FWIW, it's what is used for all websites from various SIGs under <br>
<a href="https://sigs.centos.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sigs.centos.org</a> (including the SIG guide itself, <br>
<a href="https://sigs.centos.org/guide" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sigs.centos.org/guide</a>)<br>
<br>
As a follow-up on the CentOS SIG day, an investigation (see <br>
<a href="https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/1061" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/1061</a>) was started as a PoC to just <br>
extract wiki content in a readable (static) format, so that we can still <br>
host a "read-only" version (archived) of wiki content, while a new <br>
service (wiki or else) would replace it.<br>
<br>
All comments/remarks are welcome, and let's have a plan about what to do <br>
(the sooner, the better)<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
