HaWiki closing in one month; migrate content to HaskellWiki now!
Hi all, HaWiki[1] has been deprecated since the beginning of this year[2] when the new HaskellWiki[3] was introduced. However, we are now in the situation where we have both wikis running in parallel, which occasionally causes confusion to users, and means we have outdated information lying around on the old wiki. We have therefore decided that the old wiki will be taken down at the end of this month. If there is any information on it that you think should be kept but has not yet been migrated to the new wiki, this is the time to act! We have made a page for handling the migration, listing all the pages on the old wiki: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaWiki_migration If you migrate a page, or find that it has already been migrated, then remove it from the list. Remember you need to check licences before moving content to the new wiki!

One thing which I can think of would be HaskellNewbie and all its subpages. The problem there is that no copyright information is available for any of it. I suppose we could just ignore that concern and copy it over wholesale :) On 01/10/06, Ian Lynagh <igloo@earth.li> wrote:

There are a lot of pages that look like they would be great to move - but either no indication of who put them up or no license info on the persons page if we do know who put them up. Is it possible (and furthermore is it advisable/legal ;) to send an email to registered users of the old HaWiki letting them know that unless they withdraw their contributed code it may be moved over and subject to the HaskellWiki copyright (at http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellWiki:Copyrights for those new to this :).

G'day all. Quoting "Brett G. Giles" <gilesb@cpsc.ucalgary.ca>:

I hereby give permission to redistribute anything I wrote under the new wiki licence. I encourage everyone else to check over the list of pages and see if anything looks familiar, and if so, do the same. Cheers, Andrew Bromage

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure we can't give licenses to other people's work. However, we can email users asking them to license their HaWiki work. -- Ashley Yakeley Seattle WA
For those of you busy moving the changes over, you may want to check out the new Haskell wiki guidelines at http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellWiki:Guidelines as there are some differences with the old HaWiki (especially in page naming :) Also the editing help at http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Help:Editing contains a summary of some of the formatting differences between the old and new wiki's.
