Hi

I made a migration of our kwikis to foswiki. The resulting migration scripts may be downloaded from the foswiki.org website http://foswiki.org/Main/HerbieLiechti.

Best regards Herbie

Hi Herbie

thanks for sharing. We will move your instructions to a Support topic.

This is also an opportunity to look at the current pages. http://gotwiki.org/Community/CompaniesAreUpgradingToFoswiki does not provide a link to how-tos.

When you from there search on 'migrate', nothing usable shows up, because it is Community web. http://gotwiki.org/Community/WebSearch?search=migrate&scope=all

If you search 'migrate' in Support web, only 'Question' topics show up: http://gotwiki.org/Support/WebSearch?search=migrate&scope=all

I would expect one overarching topic 'Migrating to Foswiki', or 'How do I migrate to Foswiki', with a number of platforms listed: TWiki, Mediawiki, and now Kwiki.

• CompaniesAreUpgradingToFoswiki should be moved to About web, with a parent topic 'MigratingToFoswiki'
• MigratingToFoswiki then lists how-to topics in Support web.
