considering switching two doku wiki pages/portals for media wiki. I
know some advantages of media wiki already I wonder now what are the
disadvantages. One of these pages is my personal web page, so low
traffic (less than 1000 access per month lets say)</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">http://frantisekapfelbeck.org/doku.php<br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt;

thousands hits per month, so still nothing special (however with
another crowd sourcing campaign you never know, in Google if you type
“food hacking”, we are (food hacking base (fhb)) twice in first ten

have been warned that media wiki is harder to back up and I’m not sure
about the install and updates (I’m weak on that but I can learn if I
have to - have to sooner or later). After nearly a year with doku wiki
I’m still not happy with the “looks” of what I’m doing there. To my
experience it is so much more easy and quick to get a decent page in
media wiki than in doku, that is the major reason for me to switch.</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Anyway
I’m now reading more online about the media and doku wiki also checking
where do we host our doku wiki and what are our rules/rights on the
servers there.</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Many
thanks for any info, I think that within next 10-14 days I should know
what the fhb group thinks and I would proceed further depending on that,</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Sincerely,</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span

Even if I learn how to install and admin the media wiki properly, I
will be not around quite often to do that, even after settling down I
travel quite a bit and when I’m on some international hacker event I can
not really take care about some issues or updates etc. so I will need
some reliable person to take the burden of admin work anyway and I do wonder how much more difficult it is under media wiki compared to doku wiki.</span></div><div> </div><div>Frantisek Algoldor Apfelbeck</div><div><br><br></div><div>biotechnologist&kvasir and hacker</div><br><div><br></div><div>http://www.frantisekapfelbeck.org</div><div><br><br></div><div>"There is no way to peace, peace is the way."
