One thing I hear a lot. “Hey, I wished I’d known how great Wikis are for this specific application before I stuffed all my data into this legacy static page system”. Well, here at Socialtext we don’t say no to more people embracing the Wiki Way, and so we wrote and released today a set of tools called the Socialtext Conversion Toolbox.
In a nutshell, this fine piece of code takes arbitrary HTML pages, converts them into Wiki text, and uploads them onto your Socialtext hosted Wiki. All that thanks to the power of REST, which we will – of course – release for the Open Source version, Socialtext Open, as well, very soon.
Owners and users of Socialtext’s hosted offerings can get their data uploaded right away. Check out the documentation and download links on our STOSS Wiki, and let me know if you did something cool with it (convert six years of static cookie recipe websites to a Wiki, maybe? Mmmmm, cookies.).
