747171 - wiki: Export documents to a directory of files, import in migration script

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Editing, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Les Orchard [:lorchard]]

A nice-to-have enhancement:

* Take a bunch of documents, say those whose slugs match the pattern Template:DekiScript:*

* Export each document as a separate file

* Check those files into git

* Import those files as documents in the migration script

If the above were working, then we could edit templates on a dev machine, export and check into git.

Then, assuming an incremental migration cronjob is working on staging, those templates checked into git would be auto-imported. 

Later, a full migration on production could pull those templates in as well.

Need discussion to figure out the best way to implement this (export/offline)

FWIW, we need this pre-July launch for migration, not very useful afterward. This is about migration from MindTouch, not offline export of content.

Taking back out of sprint - is a purely nice-to-have, can be done by hand with an export and an import via web UI

Comment 4

[Les Orchard [:lorchard]]

In fact, since this can be done by hand, and is a nice to have, I'll eject it again from pre-July altogether

Marking as invalid as per comment 2.
