Andrea,
That seems to me to be a valid argument. If someone is willing to step up and devote substantial time to making Website 2.0 a reality, then their desire to work within a familiar environment should carry a lot of weight.
you rock, thanks!
There has been a fair amount of discussion on the forum part of the new website. As a forum moderator, my primary concerns are:
- A relatively seamless transition from the old site to the new,
preserving both content and internal links to the greatest extent possible, and migrating existing active accounts.
- A robust forum implementation, with ease of use being more important
than features.
- A mechanism for registering new users that locks out the spambots
that have plagued the forum. Individual spammers we can handle with relative ease. The bogus accounts by the thousands are much more of a drain on resources.
I saw a lot of efforts have been made about this on the wiki and the plan, as far as I see it on the wiki page in question [1], is about to migrate Xoops+CBB(newbb) to phpBB. (which is a forum software which seems to meet all the requirements you kindly posted above here)
So, definitely yes, everything from users to posts must be preserved while migrating to the new platform. Feel free to let me know if i can help you with something else.
Similar concerns apply to the Wiki - Seamless migration of existing content, and an easy path for contributors to continue their work, while preventing bad guys from doing damage.
I guess the wiki won't be touched at first time since it is hosted on its own domain and it is just linked to the website. Anyway it will have to be centralized to the main LDAP istance, but there are some handy guides around. [2]
