Special thanks again to all those who helped with the wiki migration. It 
is done!

The new wiki resides at: http://www.archlinux.org/archwiki

In total, on the order of 230 pages were migrated. A list of these pages 
can be found here: 
http://www.archlinux.org/archwiki/index.php/Special:Allpages

In the coming week, I am hoping to help craft a How-To document to give 
people some direction in the nuances of the new wiki system: From using 
categories, to links on markup information.

In the meantime, this document:
http://cactuswax.net/~eliott/ArchLinux/wiki_migration/migration-howto.html
can likely provide simiple how to information in a small capacity.

Again, a very big thank you to those community members that helped with 
the migration. It is always pleasant working with a group that really 
pulls together to get a job done. I congratulate you all on your hard 
work, and thank you sincerely for donating much of your weekend to the 
cause.

Special thanks, in no particular order, to: xerxes2, klapmuetz, Dusty, 
paranoos, Mr Green, dtw, maxsipos, pholie, dlanor, SleepyDog, and 
iphitus. Without you guys, it would not have been possible.

If you are interested in seeing which of the above hard working 
individuals did what, you can see what chunks were done here 
http://www.archlinux.org/archwiki/index.php/Migration_Chunks%21

A chunk was 12 pages. Some chunks were larger than others (more lines in 
pages), and a few chunks had pages that were not migration candidates 
(too old, spam pages, one liners, ad-hoc category pages, etc).

There is still a tiny bit of work to be done, but it is solely in the 
realm of translation, thus out of my hands ;) . There were a few pages 
in various languages that we did not migrate.
These are located here:
