<div dir="ltr"><div><br>Forgive me if I have missed something, but this issue seems fairly straightforward.<br><br>Firstly, any such project must drop subjectivity and endeavour to be as objective as possible.<br><br>Secondly, it wants to follow something along the lines of :<br><br>1. Survey the existing Wiki, listing its advantages and disadvantages, objectively.<br><br>2. Conduct an investigation of alternative Wikis, similarly listing their benefits and disadvantages.<br><br>3. Next draw up a shortlist of possible choices. For each choice, sketch out a varied list of requirements (what is needed to get it going) and a potential migration plan, as a draft.<br><br>4. By doing that it would be possible to gauge the scale of the issue and how, if so desired, a migration might be conducted.<br><br>5. Afterwards a pilot project might be started to migrate a percentage of the existing Wiki over to the alternatives, as an experiment. Once these have been set up then performance testing could be implemented and comparisons made.<br><br>6. Once some performance metrics have been derived and a report covering the issue has been written, then an informed discussion could be held.<br><br><br></div>Brian.<br><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 18, 2016 at 9:17 PM, Simon Quigley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tsimonq2@ubuntu.com" target="_blank">tsimonq2@ubuntu.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">The Ubuntu Wiki is old, slow, and quite frankly, needs an upgrade.

I support the move to MediaWiki(or however you write it, I'm not sure<br>
if you capitalize the "w", anyways). The Ubuntu Wiki needs change and<br>
I have heard MediaWiki is a good wiki system(for lack of a better<br>
word).<br>
<br>
Thank you for considering this move.<br>
