> (How did you found this one from that huge list of wikis??)

Well it was a few months ago nct and I searched for a php wiki. I think we 
entered something like "wiki php" into google and watched the 10 first wikis 
we found like that. I think we also wanted groups and user hierarchy, because 
like that we can use it for the whole web site and simply make that some 
pages are only editable by specific people. We were also sensitive to the 
fact that hacks can be easily integrated - such as the script we use to 
display the ftp content or the contributors list.

Ok thank you very much - so this will make the whole migration faster! :)

Yes, but I think that it's not tragic... The history is mainly useful to be 
able to undo what some destructive users did. Of course if there is an easy 
way to keep the history we should do that... but I dont think there is.

Nct: we should do that soon - can you please already simply install pmwiki on 
epfl.ysagoon.com/wiki. So that we can already start the migration. And as 
soon as it's finished we'll then change wiki.ysagoon.com and make it point to 
epfl.ysagoon.com/wiki. Shall we migrate the whole web site into the wiki or 
only the wiki for now? What do you think? Migrating the whole web site is 
nearer to our vision of what ysagoon.com should be, but will probably take 
more time than only migrating the wiki.
