Server Switch
As some comments on the “sample” post indicated a number of people noted that the server is no longer the server.
We’ve swapped out the server for a (hopefully) more reliable machine, with some extra RAM and HDD space. What happened to the forums was an unfortunate accident, the wiki is still available under /wiki but we want to see if wordpress doesn’t work better for us. It gives us a more hierarchical structure, allows us to function by adding “posts” or “pages”. If this doesn’t work out too well, we’ll probably have to roll back.
Simeon did all of the work in terms of installing and getting the hardware swapped around, so a great deal of thanks goes out to him. He put a very significant amount of effort into this change-over, including setting up Wordpress for us, moving over all the old data from the old server (which is now resting in peace).
I think jabber is the only service that has not yet been completely migrated and I’ll work on that over the weekend, also figuring out a bit more about the WordPress permissions etc.
