* PHPWiki has a nasty security hole and had to reinstall the server to be sure all the nasties are gone
+
* To upgrade to the latest version of PHPWiki requires this same process ( copy and paste ) as the syntax is different, ie no upgrade script.
+
* Since the opportunity arises this will also be an upgrade to MediaWiki; it powers wikipedia.org and is unquestionably more stable and supported because of this. It also supports better spam prevention due to logins.
+
* Also a few people had commented that the wiki was a mess and it was getting a bit that way so this is a chance to clean it up.
+
* I have paid a developer to write a [http://www.webforce.co.nz/phpwiki2mediawiki/ phpwiki  2 mediawiki syntax converter]. It's not perfect and you will need to clean up the output. ( if you are good at php and regex and want to try to make it work better, email me! )
+
* The list of old pages and a link to their old content and an automatically converted new page( that will need fixing ) is at [http://www.knoppix.net/oldwiki/ www.knoppix.net/oldwiki/]
+
* The list of new pages is [[Special:Allpages]]
+
* The page names will be different. E.g. KnoppixCustomisations will become [[Knoppix Customisations]]
+
* The syntax of mediawiki is different from phpwiki. For help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page
+
* Obviously some of the pages do not need to be converted, e.g. the PHPwiki specific pages, or plugin pages.
+
* Keep the list below in alphabetical order and sign your name by typing <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>
+
 
+
We'll do the homepage of the wiki last, once all the pages are done.
