2026 Wiki Migration
From Pumping Station One
Summary
Due to performance issues and rising costs, the Tech Team has decided to move the wiki back on-prem. It was originally moved off-prem due to the lack of time to maintain the system. With a fully established tech team, we are better positioned to maintain this system internally, save money while doing so, and make material improvements to how the wiki operates.
- Cons / Risks
- Relies on site uptime (internet, VMs)
- Internal responsibility for maintenance / updates / backups
- Pros / Benefits
- Full control over wiki software
- Empowered to fix performance issues and install plugins/updates
- Additional flexibility to switch wiki software in the future
