: Dave admits, that "WikiWikiWeb ... is now being migrated to the federated wiki" which implies that there are two wikis and content from the old wiki is copied to the newer wiki. And rightly the old one is called WikiWikiWeb. The new wiki is called [[Federated wiki (wiki)|Federated wiki]]. Those are the facts. I call that process a [[Fork]] he says migration. OK, why not. However: WikiWikiWeb is still running on [[:Category:WikiWikiWeb|WikiWikiWeb]]. No change here. To write "Wiki engine: Federated wiki" is falsification. Migration or forking; in any case we got two wikis with two different names, two URLs, two different engines and each Wiki got a page on WikiIndex. And WikiWikiWeb (the wiki) is read-only. The Status is dormant, just one final edit within the last 6 weeks. And Ward did not declare, that he intends to take down WikiWikiWeb. So the read-only WWW will remain as a potential source for forking content into the new Federated Wiki.

''You again appear to be confusing WikiWikiWeb the Perl-based software with WikiWikiWeb the wiki. I note there's discussion on WikiIndex about migrating the wiki from one server to another. Does that mean WikiIndex is closed and its goals are achieved? Ward wrote "After twenty years of service I'm pleased to announce a complete rewrite of wiki as a single page application with a distributed database which will last us for at least 20 years, maybe 200," which clearly implies a continuation, not a cessation.'' | |||
''By the way, why does this matter to you? Your involvement with WikiWikWeb was intentionally destructive and your attempted descriptions here are dismissive. What do you have against the WikiWikiWeb?'' | |||
