14:35 🔗 emijrp Man, wikiteam documentation is so bad? : ( http://wikkii.com/forums/index.php?topic=569.msg1681#msg1681
14:36 🔗 ersi I had no troubles getting started pulling down Wikis with our tools
14:37 🔗 emijrp Fully agree on the horrible documentation. I've tried the following steps, which seem to work -- but I haven't really tested the outcome, so CAVEAT EMPTOR!

14:37 🔗 emijrp Really, their FAQ and Tutorial is almost useless and they don't believe in making things easy. If anyone is able to make sense of it, please let me know and I'll post a nice Tutorial that actually is helpful to people without 20 years of experience in programming and understanding vague tech talk.
14:37 🔗 emijrp The wikiteam site at http://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/ says they can back up Farmer wikis. However, even though I'm usually pretty good at figuring stuff out, they have a real lack of any kind of explanation. They only thing I could guess at was that you need to install Python and then download the Python code they have and run it.
14:37 🔗 emijrp 1. Downloaded and installed python for my operating system.
14:37 🔗 emijrp 2. Downloaded python source from http://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/source/browse/trunk/dumpgenerator.py
14:37 🔗 emijrp 3. Executed from command line using Python 2.6.5 (I got an error using python 3.2): python dumpgenerator.py --index=http://FOO.wikkii.com/w/index.php --xml --namespaces=all
14:37 🔗 emijrp 4. Then also executed with --images; probably could do both xml and images in same command.
14:39 🔗 emijrp Maybe we need a GUI
16:28 🔗 LobStoR clarifying that it's *not* python 3 is good -- i made that mistake the first time i tried this
17:48 🔗 chronomex documentation: come to irc and ask
17:52 🔗 LobStoR lol
18:15 🔗 ersi nothing wrong with python 3000, it's just.. different
18:15 🔗 ersi I'd stick with 2.X though
18:22 🔗 underscor Do we host the wikis on archive.org?
18:22 🔗 underscor Rather, do we want to?
18:22 🔗 underscor I can create a new collection with my new admin-awesomeness for them if that's helpful
18:23 🔗 underscor (since I heard google isn't expanding us)
18:23 🔗 underscor chronomex: op spread <#
18:23 🔗 underscor <3*
18:24 🔗 LobStoR what is the Google Code storage limit?
18:37 🔗 underscor 1 or 2 GB iirc
18:41 🔗 underscor emijrp might be a better person to ask, but do you know if the dumps we have on code.google.com include images?
18:41 🔗 underscor I'
18:41 🔗 underscor m assuming not, but...
18:49 🔗 LobStoR no images
18:50 🔗 LobStoR image pages, but not the actual images
18:50 🔗 underscor Oh okay
18:50 🔗 underscor Why not? Lack of bandwidth/space?
18:51 🔗 ersi No, because the license isn't clear afaik
18:53 🔗 LobStoR licensing and storage
18:54 🔗 LobStoR i don't think google has bandwidth issues, hehe
18:54 🔗 LobStoR storage, really, is the #1 issue right now
18:55 🔗 LobStoR well, in terms of distribution
18:55 🔗 ersi storing it on gCode was lulzy anyhow :P
18:55 🔗 underscor I meant local bandwidth
18:56 🔗 underscor Well, I'm mirroring them to the archive
18:56 🔗 underscor Just talked to the boss, she said "Go ahead. Our policy is 'if in doubt, upload it'"
18:56 🔗 underscor haha
18:56 🔗 LobStoR archive.org seems like a good long-term idea
19:06 🔗 underscor Well, I'll start with moving our text backups there
19:06 🔗 underscor Then perhaps doing imagedumps
22:38 🔗 undersco2 Nemo_bis: Did you already upload wikiteam stuff to archive.org?
