[Ktechlab-devel] SF.net hosted apps retiring -- we need to migrate MediaWiki ?

[Zoltan Padrah]

  Hi,

I've got an RSS news from sourceforge recently, original available here:

http://sourceforge.net/blog/hosted-apps-retirement/


 From the hosted apps we are using mediawiki, and that is specified as  
ktechlab's website. It seems that until September, we have to migrate the  
wiki. We have to look for a future-proof upgrade path.


I'm pasting the beginning of the blog entry linked above at the end of  
this email.

Best regards,

  Zoltan



 From the blog:


Hosted apps retirement

At SourceForge, we’re continually pushing the developer experience  
forward, trying to provide you with the tools and services that you need  
to develop on your projects.

Sometimes this means that we need to retire a service that has outlived  
its usefulness, and is no longer maintainable. Today we’re announcing the  
end of life of the Hosted Apps platform. Effective immediately, we’re not  
allowing any new creation of Hosted Apps, and we’re asking you to migrate  
those hosted apps into your own project web space.

Some of these apps were taken offline temporarily a few weeks ago, and two  
apps – WordPress and phpwebsite – remain offline.

Hosted Apps will go offline permanently on September 1, 2012. This gives  
you all Summer to plan and migrate your data.

There’s a variety of reasons that this is necessary, but what they come  
down to is that the effort required to maintain this feature has come to  
outweigh the benefits. Furthermore, with a single installation of each of  
these apps, we weren’t able to offer you the flexibility of configuration,  
plugins, and themes that many projects wanted and expected.

For those of you that are using the Hosted App functionality, you can  
already get backups of that data for your own uses. That data is yours,  
not ours, and we want to be sure that you have a way to get it out.

For Classic projects, you can get a backup from: Project Admin > Features  
> "Backups" row > "Hosted Apps"

For new or upgraded projects, it’s in: Admin > Tools > Hosted Apps, Admin  
Hosted Apps > backup link.
