Why is the new wiki being set up on another random server rather than one of the the space ones? 

I'd be a lot happier with it on garioch so we don't have this same problem of the random other server it's on going away again further down the road. 

Since dokuwiki is a lot easier to move around than mediawiki it looks like it shouldn't be too much hassle to move it onto garioch. I'm happy to do the install on garioch side if you can give me an archive (or can reinstate your account there Iain if you want to do it, and continue doing admin stuff for it).

With it on garioch we should be able to connect dokuwiki to the LDAP so account there would be part of id.

Also, is it possible to get whatever process was supposed to be syncing the wiki to wiki-backup.57north.org.uk/ run again so that there is complete copy of the old wiki preserved?

What do you consider to be your median achievement?
