What would everyone think of migrating to MediaWiki if I can get it up and running? I don't know if there's any automated content migration utility - it might take a lot of cut-and-paste.<br><br>Scott<br>N1VG<br><br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px;"><hr><b>From:</b> Tom Russo [mailto:russo@bogodyn.org]<br><b>To:</b> aprssig@lists.tapr.org<br><b>Sent:</b> Mon, 30 Apr 2007 13:23:23 -0700<br><b>Subject:</b> [aprssig] APRS Wiki vandalism<br><br><!-- -->The APRS wiki at <a href="http://info.aprs.net/" target="_blank">http://info.aprs.net/</a> appears to have been the victim of<br>some hit-and-run script vandalism on 19 April 2007.<br><br>I've corrected a few of the utterly trivial changes (random removal of plus<br>signs), but some pages have had almost all of their content removed, often<br>everything following the first ampersand in the text:<br><br> Thu, 19 Apr 2007:<br> (22:08 Pacific Daylight Time) [history] - APRS Rj3J0r<br> (21:54 Pacific Daylight Time) [history] - Frequencies Zn9P7y<br> (21:53 Pacific Daylight Time) [history] - Paths JbfXab<br> (11:35 Pacific Daylight Time) [history] - ARHAB GzhQjb<br> (10:59 Pacific Daylight Time) [history] - APRS2ATM JecJge<br><br>Unfortunately, the software that's running the wiki doesn't provide a simple<br>revert mechanism that I can see, so fixing these pages to contain the useful<br>information that used to be on them is tedious.<br><br>The Xastir wiki at <a href="http://www.xastir.org/" target="_blank">http://www.xastir.org/</a> was also vandalized in April a few <br>days earlier in much the same way (random missing plus signs and all text <br>deleted after an ampersand) albeit more aggressively with dozens of vandalism <br>events over the span of a few days --- leading me to suspect some kind of <br>automated script by some folks with too much time on their hands.
