All about the OSDev Wiki. Discussions about the organization and general structure of articles and how to use the wiki. Request changes here if you don't know how to use the wiki.
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned (but I quickly scanned the current topics) but the link to the old wiki on the front page of the wiki takes you to http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/index.php/. The page then displays
Fatal Error:
/var/www/sites/www.osdev.org/osfaq2/lib/FileFinder.php:191: Error: locale: file not found
/var/www/sites/www.osdev.org/osfaq2/lib/FileFinder.php:191: Error: locale: file not found
I may be being dense here and assuming that the old wiki is still available but if there is a link to the old wiki you cannot access the file. I doubt it but it might be my computer or browser. I am running mozilla firefox on windows xp.
I know the OSFaq is old and we're now using a wiki, but don't we still have a lot of stuff to convert to the wiki format? If we can't access the osfaq, where does that leave the people who are migrating it to the wiki?
All information that was on the FAQ has been moved to the wiki. There is a pages for review category that holds everything that hasnt been wikified yet, but there shouldnt be anything meaningful left that is not available in the new wiki

I think there are still a couple of things to convert. I didn't mean to take the old faq down, it must have happened during the server transfer. I probably just forgot to add the mysql account back in for the phpwiki. I'll get it working tonight.
Ok, it's back up. I really hate debugging php, maybe because I know it just enough to mess with it but both php and perl programs always seem to end up so difficult to read.

That's why both are referred to as "write once, read never" languages.
