Back in 2013, Rick and I were working on migrating the wikiwikinewt data
from the old PhpWiki installation to a new ikiwiki <https://ikiwiki.info/>
installation. The subversion repository containing that data—still in need
of additional formatting fixes—has been converted from subversion to git
and is now up on GitHub: <
https://github.com/UNNA/ikiwiki-newton_knowledge_base>.

I'm making good progress on splitting the main subversion repository up
into smaller, more appropriate portions, as mentioned. Where that data will
be hosted initially is still to be decided, but I'm sure I'll still at
least mirror it to GitHub. We could host it there, but—as an
organization—we can't make it private without upgrading to a paid account.

Towards community transparency and ultimately management, I have updated
the UNNA organization on GitHub with a project which shows my current tasks
& progress: <https://github.com/orgs/UNNA/projects/1>. Feel free to follow
along.

I have also started configuring teams, so as repositories pop up and
progress is made, you all can start joining in. That said, please don't
request access quite yet.

Finally, how would everyone like to get updates as to UNNA status? I'm
happy to send updates to the list periodically, I'll try to remember to
post to Twitter, and there are also the unna-admins & unna-announce mailing
lists. All of the above? I just don't want to annoy the list with technical
details and discussions if they're better had offline.

Have a great weekend,

Morgan
