| I've both deleted by the link. Ok.
| |
| | |
| Now we see that it's possible to store the links to older exports and the <em>delete</em> links anywhere else in the wiki and have it accessible as long as we want.
| |
| | |
| I think saying
| |
| | |
| <em>These exports are pretty old, so I started making a new one</em> has *nothing* to do with backup management. Sorry Mike.

| I'm bow downloading the Nov 4 2010 export. Then I will copy the delete link to it and create a new export in wiki text, then I try to delete the hidden export. Please don't disturb this process by deleting anything.

| Thanks,

| As I found, hidden exports are not accessible,
| |
| | |
| neither to delete nor to download :(
| |
| | |
| So we have to find another place to share the exports. I'll delete my today export now, then download the older exports (and delete them) and - if only this one of Mike's remains - create a new export.
| |
| | |
| I suggest to run a rotating backup strategy after the grandfather-father-son principle:

| | |
| I'll keep you informed here... :)

| Man, I'm confused. All I can say is that the two backups listed are very old, so I'm not sure if it's important to worry about them. It's the wiki as of right now that I'm mainly concerned with, which is why I started making a backup.

| No problem. In a few minutes a've finished cleaning up. This evening (CET) I'll describe the backup strategy in an understandable manner.
| |
| | |
| We (as a group) should have access to more then the latest backup (at least a handful versions).

| ...done.
| |
| | |
| As I discovered, the space used for this wiki counts only the (2) visible exports. There seem to be lots of hidden ones popping up now - where should one stop to download them?
| |
| | |
| Or should we build on the wikispace mechanisms -
| |
| | |
| in my opinion this is not a good idea...

| I added your name to the list. Anybody else, who downloaded the exports? I think 3 copies would be enough, then I will remove these (old) exports and create a new one (as fast as possible).

| |
| These exports are pretty old, so I started making a new one, in HTML form. Once HTML is done, I'll do Wikitext.

| |
| EXactly *that's* the problem! did you delete the oldest export? Every new export hides an older one, so the oldest exports have to be deleted first. Maybe in the future simple links like this could help:
| |
| | |
| http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/export/delete/74498
| |
| | |
| But we don't have it for older exports (if there are any at all)

| == thanks and answers ==
| |
| Thank you for creating this page, xenwolf.
| |
| | |
| Some suggested answers for your Questions:
| |
| | |
| <ul><li>I would vote for zipped HTML.</li></ul>
| |
| | |
| <ul><li>I would vote against making downloads available to the public. This makes it very easy for content farms (spam sites) to host the content.</li></ul>
| |
| | |
| <ul><li>Github is for choice, and yes, this is probably the best way to do it. Any of the organizers could update the repository at any time.</li></ul>
| |
| | |
| <ul><li>I see two export links on the page.</li></ul>

| I'm not sure what "wikitext" is, but if you mean the raw unformatted material present on each page, I vote for that. In that case, if every server in wikispaces' cloud explodes at the same time, we can perfectly reconstruct the entire wiki from the wikitext backup.
| |
| | |
| I see two export links as well.

| |
| I'd prefer wikitext. ...or better both, if we have an external space for that. Who can help to manage this?
| |
| | |
| BTW: where do you see 2 exports for download? I hope not on the page here ;-) (they are only a bit over-formatted), but here:
| |
| | |
| http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/export/list
| |
| | |
| Did you download any? Both? That's what I wanted you to do. Did you have a look on the space used by the wiki?
| |
| | |
| http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/space/usage
| |
| | |
| The exports are an important factor, and I want to clean and refresh them.
