Wrinkle / Roadmap

[edit] Roadmap

Migrate data to http://whynotwiki.com/
- Migrate data from Personal DB.mdb
- make do with MediaWiki's limitations as best I can
- see what I learn from that process about my needs
Transitional wiki
- Study and learn about schema / code layout
- Develop some MediaWiki extensions to deal with limitations and/or help transition to new system
Have MediaWiki and my Rails app running in parallel
- Use same database tables for some of it?
  - Categories, for instance. I want to make a really slick Ajax interface for categories/trees / drag-and-drop. Could use it to actually modify live MediaWiki categories table.
- Have Rails app use separate tables for other parts?
Add features to schema without breaking MediaWiki installation.
Get permissions figured out; make private pages private
Hide private content
Remove MediaWiki. Replace my public wiki with new app
- Start moving away from MediaWiki schema if desired
