[Geomoose-users] Old GeoMoose Wiki

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

The way back machine is not 100%.

It lost some of the early City stuff for example,

Ahh, the good old days . . . (Dec. 1996!!) : https://web-beta.archive.org/web/19961219161544/http://www.ci.stpaul.mn.us:80/


there is a big gap for the GIS site too.

The Wayback Machine already has already done that:

All,

I would agree with the proposed action.  If possible though, I would suggest running the information into some sort of online archive, even compressed as an archive of some sort for general history reasons.

My first thought was to move it entirely offline, but I think the data would have a good chance of being lost forever.  I think it’s an important thing to maintain the old and outdated stuff in some form, if for no other reason than to act as a log of activity.  Maybe this archiving process could become a annual or semi-annual process of some sort, where the old information is archived in a regular fashion.  The archive would actually benefit from this since less data would be archived and dated for each cycle, and thus result in a nice “Time Machine” (forgive my Mac speak . . .) of events over time.

I was looking over the old GeoMoose wiki [1] (which has been deprecated
and read-only for years now) and noticed that just about all of the
information in it is very out of date.

Does having it online still help anyone or should we take it down as it
may be confusing to people to come upon it?

The only thing I see there that I see as worth saving are the historical
PSC meeting minutes (which could be moved to the current geomoose wiki [2]).
