Migration of wiki

[Robert Leverington]

Hi,

I've migrated most of the wiki from the DFEY-NW wiki [1] to the new
general DFEY wiki [2] on the VPS.  There are a few things I have not
migrated yet and don't plan to, somebody else could if they feel like
it:
 - Alternative software list
 - OpenLAN party page
 - Blurb at the top of the front page

I may have also missed some details from other pages due to heavily
editing a lot of the stuff, feel free to add anything I've missed -
afterall it is a wiki.

Cheers!

If it helps, I have created a software list page on the devon and
cornwall lug wiki at
http://www.dcglug.org.uk/wiki/?id=Software

if you would like me to send you the source code,  it may be a good
starting point for your own page on this if you wanted to create
something similar, as I have added quite a lot.

That would be nice, while our existing list has the benefit of going in
to quite a bit of detail it lacks such a wide range of software.

Going off on a bit of a tangent here:

An interesting project in the long term (talking mainly to DFEY here)
might be to create something simillar to AlternativeTo [1], but only for
completely open source software.  It seems a shame for different FLOSS
groups to waste resources creating their own lists.  Does anyone know if
something like this already exists?  (Would need to have a nice
interface to appeal to non-"techies").
