Can you move a wiki from SharePoint to Wikimedia?

[Kevin Crow]

If yes, do you lose data?

TIA

I do not envy you, sir.

depending on how complex the sharepoint wiki is... you could cut, paste, format...

I'm asking BEFORE I commit to the platform. We have Sharepoint, but I'm thinking Mediawiki might be a better choice.

Thanks for the link.

Sharepoint seems to be more of a document repository - and if you look at the system reqs for the latest Sharepoint, they are STEEP!

I think it's suppose to build a hyperdrive in it's spare time or something...

Anyway... what's the goal ? - mediawiki is also quite powerful and has enormous config variability, but it's a wiki service first and foremost.

We're using it for our agency help file - to document policies and procedures.

I'm biased - but mediawiki would be fairly well suited to that task.  Can't beat the price.  Not super daunting to get going if you follow the documentation.  Would run well in a VM too.

I like Sharepoint Services, from a user perspective.  From an IT perspective, I can't stand it.  Every little thing is 1000 times more difficult than it should be.  Restores, Migrations, etc...  they're borderline impossible.

I pushed REALLY hard to have a SMF-powered Intranet.  Sadly, I lost the fight.
