Hi RussH,

As it happens I've been on the lookout for an OSS Candidate Tracking System for a small project with a colleague at work but for some reason hadn't turned up yours until about 2 hrs ago...and by accident no less!

With regard to your need for volunteers to transfer wiki content, if you're still in need of volunteers count me in; if I do say so myself, I consider my RegEx-Fu to be fairly strong ;) and I could make short work of a good number of the transformations required to change wiki formats for you if that would help?

Anyway, let me know if I could be of assistance, it'll give me a chance to try to internalise much of the wiki content by osmosis if I'm lucky :)

Cheers,

-Matt.

Hi Matt,

thanks for the offer - but after I posted this, i tracked down a project that'd scrape a mediawiki XML export and convert it to markdown. I'd gladly hand this to you - but as I create the new wiki, i'm also really stripping out redundant content and updating some of the open projects - so it's probably down to me right now.

There's more than enough to go around though - lots of issues on the issue tracker, and trying to find someplace nice to create a roadmap. Possibly another wiki page? Please dive in - PM me if there's a particular area you want to help out on.

Welcome!

Okay, the wiki close is completed. However with recent updates (particularly to Sphinx) I'll need to revisit the wiki again <sigh>

Something for a rainy day in Autumn!
