First Forge Migration Step Complete

The Forge website is migrating. Last week the first big step was taken when all of the Forge backend processes and the front end administration pages were moved. Almost everything is now controlled in the wiki interface. This is the first major step in our transition.

Roadmap Quote:
"Novell now plans to improve the current Forge UI and update the Forge website to a new look. The previous Forge website, as you know it, will no longer be available. Most of the functionality that was available in Forge will be moved to the new developer wiki pages. In other words, the framework that connects all of the Forge services will now be the wiki instead of the forge website."

Our next major step will be to redirect the rest of the current forge website to the developer wiki. If you are a project admin, please take a little time and edit your project page in the wiki so that it looks the way you want it to look. We are planning on making this next step in the middle of May, so please edit your wiki page by then. Below are a few projects that have started to take advantage of the freedom that the wiki gives them to promote and report their project in their own way.

If you would like a little bit of transition help please take a look at Help for forge users. If you discover something useful please add it to the list of suggestions on this page. We will also continue to add information as we see difficult transition points.

If you have questions or would like to be informed of changes as they happen please subscribe the the forge-dev mailing list.
