Peek in to the DruidWiki Crystal Ball
For those that know the DruidWiki, and it’s coding roots, you’ll know that it’s a MoinMoin 1.3.5 base install with some code whipped from the DavisWiki project (which was a fork of MoinMoin), and piled back into MoinMoin.
Now that MoinMoin are at 1.5.x, I’ve been holding off an upgrade. Partly because it’s a case of finding the time to roll the changes back into 1.5.x. Mostly it’s because, I plain don’t like the aesthetics or path of 1.5.x. I know, does that make me shallow?
So what to do, how do we increase the services and performance that the DruidWiki can offer, and keep the site bubbling and full of energy, easier to navigate, less of a technical challenge to our users? Luckily the folks at DavisWiki are going to release a new project encompassing their new code-base. It’s called Sycamore, and you can see a test site here.
For my part, I’m going to be documenting our entire migration experience, as well as having some input onto the creation of a MoinMoin migration script.
