<tt>A few thoughts.<br>
The first thing that can and must be done is to move wiki database
from clasdb server. <br>
This server is heavily used for the data analysis. It makes
perfect sense to move wikis to some other server. This step can be
done relatively easy.<br>
In general, at least on the first site, I don't see arguments
against migration to the newer versions of wiki. Access control
and access policies is something to think about. But I guess we
have flexibility there. <br>
How easy is the conversion of configuration from old wiki to a new
one?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">There are a lot of wikis on clasweb that
are mostly pretty
old. For a long time, newer versions haven’t really been
possible because
clasweb itself (and apache/php) was so old. Now that the
upgrade is complete,
it opens the option of installing more recent versions (still
limited somewhat
by php until RHEL6). In the past couple of years, the Computer
Center has
developed a more-or-less standard, centrally managed Wiki
configuration that I’d
like to propose as the new standard for clasweb wikis.
Initially, I’d
like to begin using the new configuration for all newly
requested wikis, and
later, we can work through migration of the existing
installations to the new
configuration.<o:p></o:p></p>
