Wiki move update

Just a quick update on what we're doing with the wiki transition.

* Steve has made some changes to the transfer script so that it now
preserves the sub-page information by placing links to pages that used
to be sub-pages in the /talk pages. This preserves the information, but
doesn't create too much clutter

* We are currently testing the authentication server system which will
allow people to log in using their existing user names. When that comes
on line you'll need to log on using your old log in (for those who
created a new one while testing stuff on the test wiki ...)

* We plan to do the final switch-over next Tuesday (13th) at 12.00 UK
time. The plan is to make zwiki read-only while the transfer occurs,
which should take about two hours. The URLs will then be pointed at the
Moin wiki (wiki.ubuntu.com www.ubuntu.com/wiki, etc.) existing URLs to
the current pages should then continue to work.

* The current test wiki will in effect turn into the new wiki. New
pages, such as those in forum/... will continue to live there; they will
not be erased or overwritten.

Questions, comments?
