<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3161991, member: 1765"]As of last night, the migration of the old, Wikispaces-based VAMWorld to the new platform was declared complete enough* to redirect the vamworld.com domain to the new platform. The old VAMWorld was a wiki with discussion board hosted by Wikispaces, which is disappearing at the end of September. The new VAMWorld is running on an AWS EC2 instance, using MediaWiki for the wiki (like Wikipedia), and phpBB (open-source discussion board standard) for the discussion forum. While the installation, configuration, and maintenance is more involved than having it done by a site like Wikispaces, the chosen platform is about as standard as one can get and has a far richer feature set than Wikispaces ever did.</p><p><br /></p><p>* "Complete enough" means that all information has been migrated, including pictures, although we expect that there'll be some formatting issues and perhaps some dead links that slipped through the automated conversion scripts. These issues, and others that will be encountered, will be dealt with individually.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
