Move GNOME Journal from Textpattern to WordPress
Last modified: 2013-11-21 14:55:55 UTC
Related to bug 646763 ... Jeff Waugh has said that it would take about two weeks to start porting GNOME Journal into blogs.gnome.org. He responded, "can you ask Lucas Rocha how he did the previous export, and perhaps get a dump ready for import? I'll push the template changes for the current design this week." (May 2010, not sure whether this happened) He continued: "(I've partly been waiting for the hosting environment change, but now blogs is using a different DB, so that's at least a start. Thanks for the poke.)" Filing a bug to track this effort.
I'm in the process of moving all the articles to thegnomejournal.wordpress.com, I'm about 2/3 of the way through (2011-2007). Hopefully I'll get the last couple years done in the next few days and we can work on getting some new articles up! If anyone is interested in helping to redesign it or even just come up with some updated logos, I'd appreciate that - I'm very much a beginner at HTML & GIMP both :) Emily
Hi Emily, why don't you put this on blogs.gnome.org instead of on wordpress.com?
Cause' I didn't/don't have access to blogs.gnome.org, and the jury is apparently still out on where gnomejournal is to end up anyhow...
Jeff - we'll just need to move the content she's done on wordpress.com and re-create it as journal.gnome.org. Think we can set up a domain like that and then start moving the content back? I can help out here. Although I'm not particularly clueful on wordpress stuff, but hey, how hard could it be?
We had a recent marketing meeting and it seems that if we can replicate the database that contains all the posts from Emily's wordpress.com site we should be able to smoothly move everything to journal.gnome.org. I'll ping you on IRC, Jeff and see how we can accomplish this. We will probably need Emily to provide us with the password so that we can replicate her database to ours.
The GNOME Infrastructure Team is currently migrating its bug / issue tracker away from Bugzilla to Request Tracker and therefore all the currently open bugs have been closed and marked as OBSOLETE. The following move will also act as a cleanup for very old and ancient tickets that were still living on Bugzilla. If your issue still hasn't been fixed as of today please report it again on the relevant RT queue. More details about the available queues you can report the bug against can be found at https://wiki.gnome.org/Sysadmin/RequestTracker. Thanks for your patience, the GNOME Infrastructure Team
