DONE - Wikification of old web content

I want to have everything currently on webserver space to be updateable with Wiki. Currently we have these kind of files:

web files: dejavu.png
development files: plans.txt, unicover.txt
distributed files: AUTHORS, BUGS, LICENSE, NEWS, README, README.qpf, status.txt

I plan to:

DONE allow file uploads - that will allow dejavu.png embedding and updates (thumbnailing will work after SF.net upgrades its web service)
DONE wikify plans.txt and scrap the old plain text version
DONE wikify AUTHORS and do not store plain text version nor link it on Wiki - AUTHORS file will be synced before new release
DONE wikify BUGS and replace current BUGS file text with link to Bugs Wiki page
DONE wikify LICENSE and do not store plain text version nor link it on Wiki - no need to sync it before new release because it does not change
DONE wikify NEWS and do not store plain text version nor link it on Wiki - NEWS file will be synced before new release
DONE extract interesting information from README and README.qpf - these files will be changed independently
DONE link current status.txt from CVS
DONE link current unicover.txt from CVS

All wikified files will be live - they will not reflect state of last release, but state of current development (these files are either not changing (LICENSE), there is no problem with them being different (AUTHORS) or versions are mentioned there (NEWS, status.txt)).

DONE I also plan to make a "How to make a release" page.

DONE - Test and reconfigure Wiki after SF.net's Web Services upgrade

SF.net's Web Services upgrade is scheduled on 2004-12-04: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1052417&group_id=1&atid=350001

Image thumbnailing will be switched on after upgrade.

Changes affecting DejaVuWiki (see link above for their description; items marked with READY were already launched):

DONE - Logo Display (READY) - logo is shown on DejaVuWiki
Outbound email from project web and shell servers - MediaWiki allows to send forgotten passwords and private messages by mail - easiest solution will be to make a big notice that private messages are disabled and forgotten passwords are handled by administrator
Sandbox and snapshot file services - daily snapshots will be moved from web to file release system
Blocking of large file transmission - PDF samples have ~200 KB (hope it's small for this), for daily snapshots see above
DONE - MySQL database version upgrade, centralized phpMyAdmin - MediaWiki supports MySQL 4.0.x, upgrade should be transparent
DONE - Group directory is read-only on project web (READY) - sessions and images directories will be moved to shared temp directory
DONE - Change to MySQL database server host name (READY) - MediaWiki uses MySQL database
