OK, Now we need volunteers. No programming experience is required. There was a problem with our confluence installation: apparently no one realized that backup dumps were not being made, and then when data corruption hit on the storage, we ended up with a uselessly corrupt database. (We will not repeat this error.)
While confluence is off-line, web caches have content. It seems that the wayback machine didn't index our confluence, but google certainly did. So, visit: http://www.google.com/search?q=foresight+site%3Awiki.foresightlinux.org and start following the "Cached" links and cutting and pasting content. We will use mercurial to work on this together, putting content into a shared repository. Please visit: https://bitbucket.org/johnsonm/foresight-confluence-recovery Note that the "website" for this repository is the link for pulling up cached pages. Both António and I can add you as a writer in that repository. Just ask in #foresight-devel. Speaking of which: while you are doing this work, join #foresight-devel on IRC to collaborate. For each page you find, create a file with the name of the page -- use the part after "display/" in the link, and change subdirectories to use _ instead of / because in the filesystem we cannot have a single name be both a file and a directory (whereas DEV can be a node and a directory in confluence). Add the contents of the page to that file. Add that file to the repository and commit. After you clone foresight-confluence-repository: cd foresight-confluence-repository ls -l Then, for each page you are going to copy, follow the pattern here. This is what I did to add the content of the main DEV page -- the first link on that google search: hg pull -u $EDITOR DEV hg add DEV hg ci -m 'DEV' hg push If hg push tells you that it would create "new heads", then do the following: hg pull -u hg merge hg ci -m 'branch merge' hg push If you have questions, ask on #foresight-devel _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rpath.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
