bringing over mess.org content #10

Open stilett0 opened 8 years ago

stilett0 commented 8 years ago

my plan is to start work on this this weekend.

I couldn't find a way to import from DokuWiki to MediaWiki and maintain edit history, we'd have to code it ourselves. Ergo my solution is just to import it manually with a wiki note regarding date of import etc. If someone has a better solution let me know.

I just had an idea regarding the OLD historical mess.org content.

In MAME history page we have the old Gridle WIP. But there used to be similar at mess.org before redump.net took over hosting.

ex. http://web.archive.org/web/20061010151954/http://www.mess.org/wip/0206.php

AFAIK we do not have backup of old site, so Internet Archive is backup.

@NULUSIOS this seems like a project you might be interested in helping with?
