::::: If you're going to do this, remember that the #1 requirement is ''guaranteed'' to be a zero-hassle transfer of the contents of RC to the new platform. I've been through a number of CMS/Wiki changes on various sites, and I've observed that when the content can be transferred directly, they've been a success, and when the content had to be recreated, they've been a failure (or the old site was such a failure of its own that throwing away the content was an acceptable solution, but even then it was months of pain and work). Given this, I'll only support a transfer to a new platform if it is sufficiently painless and the new platform is provably better. After all, what we have now works for almost everything that we try. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 20:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
::::: Obviously, I will not do it alone. (not because it's hard, it's because i'm very poor at design.) Most people will help, will be completely open-source. The transfer will be very easy with bots. But there is a problem. For the bot do its job correctly, the article must be properly formatted. (Lang tags, headers and etc)
Incorrectly formatted articles should be transferred manually. In less than 2 weeks, we can transfer more than 90% of Rosetta Code. --[[User:Guga360|Guga360]] 20:58, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
