Question
I'm planning to move a site from mediawiki to django-cms. It has around 150 pages and a similar number of embedded images.
The question is how to do it with minimal effort. There are several issues:
- django-cms does not support mw wiki sintax, should I export html?
- how can I dump all the the wiki pages as plain html
- how to automate the process or at least minimize the effort.
- how to deal with internal links (there are not so many internal links, probably under 2/page)
- how to deal with images
Solution
First reaction - do it manually. 150 pages is not much and you can certainly do it in one working day (probably less) - which is about the same time it will take you to find and test an automated solution.
I've moved a wiki to another format and found I got a long way with just find and replace in Notepad!
