Moving MediaWiki to OpenShift

[Karsten 'quaid' Wade]

Hi:

I'm still learning the specifics of how to use OpenShift for this
purpose, so my steps here are an overview. I'm keeping good notes, which
I'll turn in to documentation.


* Setup basic MediaWiki on wiki-ovirt.rhcloud.com. (DONE)
* Add in extensions and customizations we are keeping.
* Load a recent snapshot of the current wiki database.
* Load the new theme.
* Test how things look.
* Figure out how we're going to deal with the /wiki situation.
* Change over DNS.

Another option is to update the current wiki to use the new theme, deal
with the redirects, then do the changeover to OpenShift. Any reason to
pick one way over another?

The /wiki situation is that our "wiki" is configured following the
MediaWiki standard of domain.example.org/wiki. If we're going to make
MediaWiki the service behind www.ovirt.org, we're going to need to decide:

* Do we keep or drop the /wiki convention?
* How do we handle redirects?
** Is this something OpenShift can do?
* Where do we handle redirects for content from Wordpress?
** Do we need individual redirects for each old-URL?!?
