The fact is that MacOS Wiki Server as a software product is EOL. That might scare you; or not, but I'm not fear mongering by giving you facts. As software products fade into the sunset, you should be aware of what's going on; plus understand the options and alternatives for continued support. In this case it means migrating to a supported knowledge platform. > Both Apache2 and MediaWiki run just fine on any Mac you can get on Craig's > List or evilBay... or new form any Apple Store. > That broad statement is simply untrue (plenty of older Mac's aren't capable of running the newest releases of software required to run a full MediaWiki platform.) But what's your point? Are you saying that the solution to a dying software product is to go out and purchase recycled hardware, then build a DIY platform to preserve your knowledge assets? Clearly that's not the best option for many people. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
