Let's start discussing the future of wiki.centos.org <http://wiki.centos.org> ! There was a CentOS Docs SIG day happening on monday after Fosdem and during that day, we started to discuss the future of wiki.centos.org <http://wiki.centos.org>. As a reminder : https://wiki.centos.org <https://wiki.centos.org> is actually powered by moin (http://moinmo.in/ <http://moinmo.in/>), which is : - python 2.x based - unmaintained It's also running on CentOS Linux 7 (for these requirements), itself going EOL next year. Also worth adding that it's under constant spammer load, with plenty of bots trying to write content, be denied, and trying in a different way, so it's really a "whack a mole" game. For all these reasons, it has to be replaced by something else, (still a wiki) or even better, be decommissioned entirely and eventually moved to a git workflow. FWIW, it's what is used for all websites from various SIGs under https://sigs.centos.org <https://sigs.centos.org> (including the SIG guide itself, https://sigs.centos.org/guide <https://sigs.centos.org/guide>) As a follow-up on the CentOS SIG day, an investigation (see https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/1061 <https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/1061>) was started as a PoC to just extract wiki content in a readable (static) format, so that we can still host a "read-only" version (archived) of wiki content, while a new service (wiki or else) would replace it. All comments/remarks are welcome, and let's have a plan about what to do (the sooner, the better) Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org <https://www.centos.org> gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org <http://fosstodon.org>]Just wanted to add that there was a talk on this subject earlier:

True, but reason why I started another one is for one reason : starting a thread is easy but there is usually no action plan/follow-up (as you can see from previous thread), reason why I'm asking again the centos-docs SIG to take action, and expose a plan :)
So it's a matter of prioritizing the work to be done, taking a decision about "where to go next", and then decommission wiki (the last step will happen for sure, no matter what will be done or not before)
