Import flashrom wiki
Importing contents from the old flashrom wiki is a bit delicate because most contents were never licensed. Therefore, we reach out to the original authors to license their contributions, preferably under the CC BY 4.0.
With the following table, we'll keep track of the progress:
| Author | queried | answer |
|---|---|---|
| dhendrix | via IRC | vague ack |
| GNUtoo | via IRC | originally licensed contributions under CC BY-SA 3.0/4.0 / GFDL |
| Hailfinger | via IRC | vaguely agrees ("don't have to ask me") |
| Linux junkie | licensed individual pages under CC BY-SA 3.0 | |
| Nico | agrees to CC BY 4.0 | |
| stefanct | via IRC | vaguely agrees |
| stepan | via IRC | |
| Urjaman | via IRC | agrees to CC BY 4.0 |
| Uwe | via email | everything CC BY unless mentioned otherwise |
Importing Process
Imported contents show the name of the importer in the history. Proper attribution needs to be taken care of manually.
So far, Git-Mediawiki was used to import individual pages with most of their history. The process is tedious, though, and requires to manually enable password-based authentication for the wiki.
