Greetings, Not sure who to send this to: I noticed on the wiki that the HaskellNewbies page was blank for some reason, and when I attempted to put something there, I got the below error. I tried this over the course of two days just to make sure there wasn't actually an editing conflict. "Editing Conflict Another author has modified this page since you checked it out. So that you won't interfere with the other author's work, you need to reload, re-edit, and submit again. Sorry!" peace, isaac

yeah, the current Wiki is full of problems. There was an effort underway to move the content over to the UseMod Wiki which is much more stable/featureful. what is the status of that project? Is any help needed? John On Thu, Apr 10, 2003 at 10:17:17AM -0400, Isaac Jones wrote:

Someone on IRC mentioned moving it to MoinMoin, which seems to be more featureful than UseMod. Either way, if anyone is actually thinking about this, I would suggest to them that they just put up a relatively blank wiki along side the old one, and let people copy the contents out of the old one (unless there are automatic tools to do this). At least then we could get the wiki rolling. I personally have felt that I didn't want to add anything because the wiki was either broken or going away soon. Other people might have felt like that too. Anyway, I'd be glad to help copy the contents from the old one if we just put both of them up. peace, isaac

Ah. It was me - I was planning to do this, but it has slipped through the cracks, partly because converting the old pages over felt too hard. I prefer UseMod, and checked with the Haskell list that this would be OK. I like Isaac Jones' suggestion:

I'll make this happen within the week if I can. Watch this space! --KW 8-)
