We can then work toward wiki.netrek.org as the final name. It's currently set as "netrek-dev.gerdesas.com" with 2 ServerAlias entries pointing to "new-wiki.us.netrek.org" and "wiki.netrek.org" to make that change more transparent with less human intervention required. Until the zone patch is picked up it's reachable as: http://netrek-dev.gerdesas.com/ After the patch is pickled up it will be reachable as that url and also: http://new-wiki.us.netrek.org/ > I suggest after placing in at least one DNS zone the next steps are; > > 1. create accounts (done by the contributors), Accounts are set to require confirmation before any editing is permitted. Anonymous users are not permitted to edit content; they must be logged in and confirmed. Project primaries will be given administrative access once they've created and confirmed their accounts and mailed me (or one of the other primaries) their wiki login. > 2. port content, > 3. advertise it, link to it, etc, > 4. monitor it with RSS and so forth. Have at it :) I think I need to enable image uploads, but other than that it should be good to go. Hmm, now that I think about it, do we *need* image upload ability? I will leave it disabled for now until it's determined we need it. It can be trivially enabled if it's required and after ImageMagick is installed for thumbnail management. Speaking of images, I have the wiki logo set as a random png I saw on netrek.org - it needs a better logo. If someone wants to provide one that'd be great. Send me the image file or a URL to get it from and I will add it. If anyone spots any problems with configuration or any other issues please let me know. -- "I'm sorry but our engineers do not have phones."
