Legacy content

The pages on the old wiki had critical pieces of hard-won info embedded in often obsolete articles. Just copying the whole unstructured archive seems crazy; but so does throwing it all away and only having new content. AllenJB's suggestion of a template to flag these sounds ideal. This way, when we hit a page we know whether the content is all shiny and new, or captured from the old wiki and of "variable quality"...

Automation

  • Capture existing (possibly very messy) HTML to Markdown, either with [Pandoc][] or the [Make.text][] bookmarklet.
