Hi,
I'm in organization where we have 3 unsynchronized wikis, implemented
using the software named in subject (ie JSPWiki/DokuWiki/mediawiki).
I would like to merge their content in one unique wiki, obviously
implemented using XWiki (due to the excellent interview Vincent Massol
and Ludovic Dubost gave to the castcodeurs podcast).
I have seen there are extensions to have content of those legacy wiki
imported into XWiki.
However, i'm not sure I understand how they work.
1 - JSPWiki to XWiki
There seems to be an old (?) extension at
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/JSPWiki+To+XWiki+Conve…,
documented by Vincent Massol. From what I understand, the Java code in
this extension has to be compiled independently, and run as a
stand-alone program on the machine hosting the JSPWiki server. It will
generate a XAR that can be injected into XWiki. Am I right ? If so, it
is hardly an extension of XWiki, but rather a companion program (but I'm
nitpicking). However, as a stand-alone program, isn't it available as an
executable JAR somewhere ?
2 - Dokuwiki to XWiki
This time, it's a valid XWiki extension :
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Import+DokuWiki+into+X…
which is easily installable using Extension manager (cool !). However, I
wonder how it will work with XWiki 6.4.2 ...
3 - mediawiki to XWiki
This time ... it seems like there is no extension. or is it ?
bonus - xwiki-OLD to xwiki
We also have some content in an old (5.0.1) version of XWiki. How do I
migrate ?
Conclusion - cheers
I must confess I had never tried before XWiki, and my first impression
is that it's a robust and perfectly usable wiki solution. The XWiki team
did a really impressive work.
