Hi!
Being one of the wiki sysops and certainly the most contributing user of the last half year, I would not only "not put resistance", but greatly appriciate if the two wiki were merged.
I've been looking into this a little more, and I've just found out that the official alsa wiki contains 20 articles, while the unofficial wiki contains 602 articles. Unless somebody can machine-merge these two wikis together, surely it would be a better idea (less effort!) to copy the contents of the official into the unofficial, and then transfer the whole unofficial one over to the official domain.
Hm, transfering the whole data between different Wikis isn't always easy especially when they use different wiki backend. So, I guess it won't decrease the effort but requires copying twice.
Am I missing something obvious? (Is there a reason why the new official wiki was created "blank", rather than with a dump from the unofficial one)?
The primary purpose of the official wiki is to replace the whole old www.alsa-project.org pages. Yes, eventually we can merge the information from unofficial wiki but we should do carefuly with confirmation of validity of the contents. In both www.alsa-project.org and alsa.opensrc.org, many many information are rotten and obsoleted. We'd need clean ups at first...
Anyway, volunteers are greatly apreciated. It's a Wiki, and you are free to edit! :)
