Hi,

We just got an email reminding us that the wiki is seriously broken :(

Since we expect an influx of interest with the next release it would
be nice to get it in a working state. Is anyone here knowledgeable on
MediaWiki? We need help to restore the contents and install a new
version...

Thanks!!

I am not knowledgable, but I might have been (one of) the last people to
update it. I also can (sometimes) understand error messages.
My first wrong thought is that DreamHost broke the wiki, other than that it
could be SQL injection or a database error.
If I were to work on it I would probably ask whoever set it up to send me a
copy of the database and redact almost all of it on a new install.

Has anyone considered replacing it with a simpler wiki like Gollum? No
database is required, it's file based and uses a git repo to record changes.

Yes, migrating is an option, if we conclude it would be less
maintenance headache!

I think you're right, it should be one of these things.

I'll try to get a dump of the database and a backup of the
installation done this week!
