We would like to move this site from the current farm to community farm:
parents2.xwiki.com (Community Site for Parents of Web 2.0 era)
to
parents2.myxwiki.org
My account on community farm is "weihsingwang"
Thanks.

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 by
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 farm
and then the XPertNet company can do the migration for you as part of
the hosting cost you'd pay.
Thanks
-Vincent

Hi, Vincent,
We would like to move these sites from the current farm to community
farm:
parents2.xwiki.com (Community Site for Parents of Web 2.0 era)
princetongirlscouts.xwiki.com (Community Site for girl scouts at
Princeton)
confucius.xwiki.com (Community Site for Chinese traditional culture
study)
sos.xwiki.com (Community Site for youth volunteer services)
My account on community farm is "weihsingwang".
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Wei-hsing

OK?
Sure.
Just to repeat myself the community farm has the following rules:
* No support warranty. All support is done on the XWiki user
mailing list by the community.
* No stability warranty. We install the latest milestone version
of XWiki Enterprise Manager on this farm and we use it as a test for the XWiki development team.
* No uptime warranty. It's possible the farm will be down a few
days in a row although we'll do the maximum so that it doesn't
happen.
* The farm is open to anyone to create wikis on.
However the
target users are mostly technical people who can support
themselves to
some extent. This farm should never be used for
business-critical
wikis. For that please use a pro farm service like the one
provided by
XPertNet.
If you're ok with these rules just follow the instructions listed on
http://myxwiki.org
and I'll create the wiki for you.

We don't have any plan to close it right now. However we're not
maintaining it anymore (it's not evolving).
Thanks
