Convert wiki pages from MediaWiki to Redmine
100%
Description
So now we have two wiki's:
- http://wiki.laoslaser.org/index.php/OpensourceLasercutterdriver
- http://redmine.laoslaser.org/projects/laos/wiki
Different software (MediaWiki vs Redmine), different markup language (i.e. text formatting conventions), and different structure ...
That last bit is the killer: we can't just convert and transplant all of the previous pages. Well, we could, but then things will remain very hard to find and use.
For the LAOS mainboard v0.3, I started from scratch and pulled in the different pieces where possible. It's not perfect, but I think it's a decent start.
For the LAOS I2C Panel v0.3, I just translated the entire page via Pandoc, dropped the first and last parts of the converted output, and manually converted the table on that page, since Pandoc will copy it as plain HTML. This page is not yet in good shape.
I suspect that we'll be better off converting things the hard way: picking all the pieces apart and placing them in the new structure, creating pages supporting that new structure as we go along.
The magnitude of the task ahead is scary!

The wiki main-/homepage is starting to shape up. There are a couple of section listed, which now automagically list all their child pages. These section pages are locked so that only Redmine admins can edit them. The idea is that when someone creates a new page which should be added to say the "Electronics" section, then the way to get it listed there (via "Rename") is to make it a child page of Electronics.
That way, we can create lots of pages, also for the older electronics for example, yet we don't have to link to them from the wiki home page. Making such pages child pages of the section pages will automatically list them there, and that would still make them easy to find.
There is of course also the search function in Redmine.

almost all is over; only the webshop remains, could someone with editing rights on the old wiki please do a copy/paste to here: http://redmine.laoslaser.org/projects/laos/wiki/WebShop
then this issue can be closed...

I will move the webshop to some other page (NOT the redmine wiki) when I have time. After that, I will delete the old wiki...
