[Haskell] HaWiki closing in one month; migrate content to HaskellWiki now!

[Ian Lynagh]

Hi all,

HaWiki[1] has been deprecated since the beginning of this year[2] when
the new HaskellWiki[3] was introduced. However, we are now in the
situation where we have both wikis running in parallel, which
occasionally causes confusion to users, and means we have outdated
information lying around on the old wiki.

We have therefore decided that the old wiki will be taken down at the
end of this month. If there is any information on it that you think
should be kept but has not yet been migrated to the new wiki, this is
the time to act!

We have made a page for handling the migration, listing all the pages on
the old wiki:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaWiki_migration
If you migrate a page, or find that it has already been migrated, then
remove it from the list.

Remember you need to check licences before moving content to the new
wiki!

Thanks
Ian and Shae

One thing which I can think of would be HaskellNewbie and all its
subpages. The problem there is that no copyright information is
available for any of it. I suppose we could just ignore that concern
and copy it over wholesale :)

There are a lot of pages that look like they would be great to move -
but either no indication of who put them up or no license info on the
persons page if we do know who put them up.

Is it possible (and furthermore is it advisable/legal ;) to send an
email to registered users of the old HaWiki letting them know that
unless they withdraw their contributed code it may be moved over and
subject to the HaskellWiki copyright (at
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellWiki:Copyrights for those new to
this :).

For those of you busy moving the changes over, you may want to check out
the new Haskell wiki guidelines at
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellWiki:Guidelines as there are some
differences with the old HaWiki (especially in page naming :)

Also the editing help at http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Help:Editing
contains a summary of some of the formatting differences between the old
and new wiki's.
