Re: [xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request

Hi Wei-hsing, Thanks for pinging me. I'm in SF at the JavaOne conference right now so I won't have time to do anything for a few days. Also you need to go at http://myxwiki.org and read the instructions there as I told you in my previous email. This farm is not managed

me. It's a community farm managed by the community which means you need to ask the community, not me. You'll see that once you send the email as instructed on myxwiki.org the wikis will get created very quickly. Last, the community will be able to create the new wikis for you but you'll have to do the migration of data from the old farm to this farm. Again if you want pro services then you should use the pro

and then the XPertNet company can do the migration for you as part

the hosting cost you'd pay. Thanks -Vincent On May 7, 2008, at 4:04 PM, wangwh(a)att.net wrote: > Hi, Vincent, > > Just to make sure this is on your to-do list.
