Any chance the old wiki could be put back up?
I suggest it be restored, but with two changes:
(!) Put a notice on each page that it's been deprecated and is no longer updated, and put a link to the new wiki in the notice
(2) Make it non-editable
I'd like the old wiki back because it seems the new wiki sometimes lacks things the old wiki had, and my iTT Google Search finds things in the old wiki, that are inaccessible since it is shut down.
For example, if I put
nuvoclear theme
into
the Google iTT search
, and I refine the results for wiki-entries, I get pointed to an old wiki entry entitled "Theme List" -- OTOH, when I go to
the new wiki
, it appears there are no entries listing already-created Themes, and I don't have a good way to search for it.
Similarly, IIRC, there used to be a more extensive SSH tutorial in the old wiki.
Another, related example: I just put
winscp hostname
into Google iTT search, and the first hit is from the old wiki:
"Networking:Public key logins for putty, pscp and winscp - Internet ...
For winscp create a new session filling in the host name (n810), user name (user), and private key file (the ppk file you saved). ..."
The above, of course, are just examples.
Finally, I'm all for the new wiki: Shouldn't it have a top-level link all its own, along with
* Intro
* Downloads
* Community
* Development
* News
* TALK
?
