Specifications for a MediaWiki -> Deki Wiki importer.
Data Sources
- Import from database - the initial import script must know the database location, database username and database password
- Import from web (optional) - for MediaWiki, use Special:Allpages, then Special:Export
Importing Mechanism
Importer should use Deki API to write data; no database-to-database imports. (Reading straight from the database is OK)
Bounties Overview
- $1200 for page contents
- +$240 for user accounts
- +$240 for file attachments
- +$120 for categories -> tags conversion
- $N + 2 for template conversion (???)
Bounty Requirements
