TRP Service Suspended

As announced on our companion Google Site https://sites.google.com/site/thereevesproject123/ we reluctantly took the decision to temporarily suspend The Reeves Project wiki with effect from 13 December 2017.

Status Update - 14 Jan 2018

We were able to make little significant progress prior to the New Year, but things are now moving forward. However, it is likely to still take us a few more weeks to get TRP back online.

We've split the challenges facing us in two parts; (1) establishing the new server platform and (2) upgrading from TikiWiki (TW) v6.7

Barry is focused on establishing a new platform to host TRP, which will probably be with a new hosting provider. We will however retain the same domain name of TheReevesProjectdotorg. This is currently the less pressing of our two challenges.

Jonathan and Martin are working to understand the issues with upgrading the TRP wiki from version 6.7 of the TikiWiki (TW) software.

The first step was to prove that the database backup which we have is good. They have achieved this by running it privately (off web) with TW v6.7. (It has to be off web to avoid it being hijacked again.)
They have subsequently turned their attention to upgrading the TW software to version which is stable and will be supported for some time to come. On 12 January we achieved a significant milestone in creating an off web copy of TRP running with TW v15.5. Whilst it is working, it is "ugly". There have been various changes in the TikiWiki software between versions 6 and 15 and some of these are causing issues for us. We will work to identify and address the major issues. This will probably take a week or two.

Once we've addressed the major issues, we'll then take a tentative step to bring a version of TRP back to the web for further review and testing by a slightly wider audience. When we're ready for that next step we'll post an update asking for helpers at https://sites.google.com/site/thereevesproject123/ and the various other channels Beverly is using to keep folks informed.

Wiki Stats - End January 2018

TRP was down for the whole of January, so reporting the usual statistics is not meaningful.
