- Should we continue with a more recent version of MediaWiki or change the software?
I can commit to doing an in-place MediaWiki upgrade over the next six weeks, but, read on...
It has been argued that maybe MediaWiki is a bit to complex for our needs. DokuWiki (https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki) was cited as an option, but it's apparently too light and one needs to learn the special syntax.
In the long run, I'd be in favor of our giving serious consideration to migrating to DokuWiki.
- Would you be in favor of starting over?
I think there would be a lot of benefit to archiving the current wiki and starting fresh, but there's definitely some content that should not only be brought over to a new platform, but have URL redirects put in place. I'm thinking of things like the SQL and jQuery libraries in particular.
