josejcastro, mhall119: ping, is there any way I can get ahold of elmo? sent him an email weeks ago and no response back16:53
mhall119jose: do you need elmo specifically, or just someone in IS?16:53
josemhall119: 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 elmo16:54
jcastroI think many have talked about it but no one has tried tried16:55
mhall119jose: in that case you may have to wait until Tuesday, lots of people are on holiday already16:55
josethat's fine16:55
josejcastro: I'd like to know if they found anything in their discussions (fwiw, I know elmo wanted to move at some point)16:55
joseif there's any blockers they found it may be a good time to address them16:55
jcastroI don't think it's been thought of any time soon16:57
jcastroso like, probably whatever issues he talked about are at least 3-4 years old16:57
joseah ok16:57
mhall119jose: https://github.com/django-wiki/django-wiki :)16:59
joselooks really nice, but it's a beta - I'd prefer to have something stable for such vital wikis17:00
mhall119we lived with moin for all these years, would we even know what to do with a stable wiki?17:00
wxlmhall119: YES17:03
mhall119back in the day newz2000 and I built a prototype branch-based-editing CMS on Django...that would have been fun to use17:03
* mhall119 misses newz17:03
svijwe have a django-based Wiki in our german community. Works pretty good.17:04
svijno, not open source (yet), and also a "all in one" self-written solution with forums, news, planet and wiki…17:05
mhall119svij: that's the danger or making a new django project, you never know when to stop :)17:05
svijwell back in 2008 we were running moinmoin + wordpress + phpBB bundled together that got replaced17:06
svijnow we don't have enough contributors to open source it (many hardcoded stuff and maybe some security issues)17:06
mhall119svij: yeah, ours wasn't open sourced either, mostly because it was hacked together over a few evenings during UDS-P while we were sprinting17:10
svijah okay17:10
mhall119still, the idea behind it was pretty cool I thought, having "branches" of content in your CMS that you can selectively merge into trunk17:11
svijwe hope to open source it this year, might be intersting for other LoCos who needs such a "all in one" solution17:11
mhall119svij: awesome, put out a call for help and you can recruit some trustworthy folks to help you clean up any security issues17:11
svijI actually never thought about doing a wider call, we just had a few german guys17:12
svijbut yes, I'll note that idea and talk to the other guys. :)17:12
mhall119svij: having a ready to deploy "loco team website" project would be great17:13
svijyeah17:13
mhall119jcastro could help us charm it up and have a single-command deployment17:13
svijit's running on https://ubuntuusers.de/ btw17:14
jcastroafaik I think that's how a loco team website would be done17:16
jcastroit'd just be a branch on top of django like how IS does wordpress17:16
jcastrohttps://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/04/22/rewriting-wordpress-juju-charms-for-security-and-ha-on-openstack/17:17
jcastroI think when people start to talk about it though17:18
jcastroreally it's either mediawiki, which is known and understood17:18
jcastroor some variation of boutique wiki on weird stacks no one will want to use17:18
jcastroor "a front end onto git"17:18
mhall119s/git/bzr/ and I'm sold18:19
mhall119the bitbucket wikis that were mercurial branches were awesome to work on18:20
