jose | jcastro, mhall119: ping, is there any way I can get ahold of elmo? sent him an email weeks ago and no response back | 16:53 |
mhall119 | jose: do you need elmo specifically, or just someone in IS? | 16:53 |
jose | mhall119: elmo. I basically asked if there was any knowledge or previous effort/discussion to migrate the wiki so we didn't step on anyone's toes, but I already asked a couple individuals in IS and all of them end pointing me to elmo | 16:54 |
jcastro | I think many have talked about it but no one has tried tried | 16:55 |
mhall119 | jose: in that case you may have to wait until Tuesday, lots of people are on holiday already | 16:55 |
jose | that's fine | 16:55 |
jose | jcastro: I'd like to know if they found anything in their discussions (fwiw, I know elmo wanted to move at some point) | 16:55 |
jose | if there's any blockers they found it may be a good time to address them | 16:55 |
jcastro | I don't think it's been thought of any time soon | 16:57 |
jcastro | so like, probably whatever issues he talked about are at least 3-4 years old | 16:57 |
jose | ah ok | 16:57 |
mhall119 | jose: https://github.com/django-wiki/django-wiki :) | 16:59 |
jose | looks really nice, but it's a beta - I'd prefer to have something stable for such vital wikis | 17:00 |
mhall119 | we lived with moin for all these years, would we even know what to do with a stable wiki? | 17:00 |
wxl | mhall119: YES | 17:03 |
mhall119 | back in the day newz2000 and I built a prototype branch-based-editing CMS on Django...that would have been fun to use | 17:03 |
* mhall119 misses newz | 17:03 | |
svij | we have a django-based Wiki in our german community. Works pretty good. | 17:04 |
svij | no, not open source (yet), and also a "all in one" self-written solution with forums, news, planet and wiki… | 17:05 |
mhall119 | svij: that's the danger or making a new django project, you never know when to stop :) | 17:05 |
svij | well back in 2008 we were running moinmoin + wordpress + phpBB bundled together that got replaced | 17:06 |
svij | now we don't have enough contributors to open source it (many hardcoded stuff and maybe some security issues) | 17:06 |
mhall119 | svij: yeah, ours wasn't open sourced either, mostly because it was hacked together over a few evenings during UDS-P while we were sprinting | 17:10 |
svij | ah okay | 17:10 |
mhall119 | still, the idea behind it was pretty cool I thought, having "branches" of content in your CMS that you can selectively merge into trunk | 17:11 |
svij | we hope to open source it this year, might be intersting for other LoCos who needs such a "all in one" solution | 17:11 |
mhall119 | svij: awesome, put out a call for help and you can recruit some trustworthy folks to help you clean up any security issues | 17:11 |
svij | I actually never thought about doing a wider call, we just had a few german guys | 17:12 |
svij | but yes, I'll note that idea and talk to the other guys. :) | 17:12 |
mhall119 | svij: having a ready to deploy "loco team website" project would be great | 17:13 |
svij | yeah | 17:13 |
mhall119 | jcastro could help us charm it up and have a single-command deployment | 17:13 |
svij | it's running on https://ubuntuusers.de/ btw | 17:14 |
jcastro | afaik I think that's how a loco team website would be done | 17:16 |
jcastro | it'd just be a branch on top of django like how IS does wordpress | 17:16 |
jcastro | https://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/04/22/rewriting-wordpress-juju-charms-for-security-and-ha-on-openstack/ | 17:17 |
jcastro | I think when people start to talk about it though | 17:18 |
jcastro | really it's either mediawiki, which is known and understood | 17:18 |
jcastro | or some variation of boutique wiki on weird stacks no one will want to use | 17:18 |
jcastro | or "a front end onto git" | 17:18 |
mhall119 | s/git/bzr/ and I'm sold | 18:19 |
mhall119 | the bitbucket wikis that were mercurial branches were awesome to work on | 18:20 |
