Es hat nicht vermutlich viel Sinn, diese Forderungen in die unterschiedlichsten Topics einzustreuen… das Migrationsthema wird hier behandelt, das Thema der Editiermöglichkeiten hier. Dort kannst Du Deine Wünsche zielgenau platzieren … .
@Mammi71 vielleicht die Migrationsbeiträge von hier in das entsprechende Topic verschieben?
Manchmal ändern sich z.B. Links oder die Überschrift stellt sich als missverständlich heraus oder der Beitrag bedarf einer sonstigen Aktualisierung. Hierfür kann zwar immer wieder eine neue Antwort verfasst werden, aber das macht die Sache sehr schnell unübersichtlich, da im Zweifel das gesamte Thema durchgelesen werden muss, statt nur der erste, aktualisierte, Beitrag.
The OSMF has contracted a Ruby dev to help me with the FluxBB → Discourse migration. Our work together has started this week. He was able to get the first import running locally today.
Raised this in teh Site Design thread, but it was suggested that it would be better here, so reposting.
Was reading that thread for the first time, & saw this post: Site design and organization - #8 by cquest. I know that it was only a very old example of how things could be migrated, but I noticed the old OSM Communities listed for both Australia & New Zealand.
How would they then integrate with the new “Oceania” community that is just in the process of being created? Would everything from both old spots go together into the new one?
Discourse handles some some bbcode yes. Actually this caused me some confusion as I was first looking at the import results! Some of that is useful (The “quote” and “code” tags for example will be allowed through unmodified) but ultimately the import needs to convert almost all the different syntax of FluxBB-flavoured bbcode over to discourse-flavoured markdown/html. There’s a few nasty edge cases and nesting possibilities to consider
On my backlog tasks is to run a full import into a cloned version of this site to test the importer and test integrations. I have not yet completed this task, but I estimate before end of November.
Thanks for all that work! Would the cloned version be made available to the public for some time, so interested parties can take a look (e.g. how their regional forum was handled etc) and provide feedback if needed?
@nukeador : I’m really disappointed that our moderators are being pushed by the forum governance team to re-confirm the moderator selection in a super short time period, whereas the migration is now ongoing for months without much obvious progress to outsiders not watching any github repos. People on the German subforum are increasingly frustrated by the lack of any feedback wrt the current status of the migration process.
@mmd Nobody is being pushed, the community agreed on a timeline to review moderators on categories that were created before the policy was established, because they were simply self-selected. The agreement was to review in 3 month, December 10th (even some people flagged they needed to be reviewed even sooner).
That’s what’s happening right now, each community in this situation is self-managing to validate their moderators list.
On the migration I can’t comment since I’m not directly involved. I agree it’s going slow, the reason being not having enough people to tackle the issues arising with the content migration. @Firefishy can expand on this one, but it seems it’s being way trickier than expected to get it right.
Crosschecking some topics with the old forum, everything looks as it should be (besides the [url] tag, but that’s ok for now).
I don’t remember if it was discussed already, but will the users’ avatars be transferred aswell?
