What might work in the short term is to bring the wiki back online, but make it read only. This way we could get some of the data in the wiki
out, which is what we need for the current task.

I will do this. If the spam is removable within a reasonable length of time
I'll purge all of it.
I'll start over with a new wiki, probably tikiwiki or maybe pmwiki.


Later versions may and so do other wiki software and I would have to start over with a new wiki to keep
one up with authentication. Then porting all the pcwiki data would be a job+1/2. Anyone here have any suggestions?

Might not be such a bad job if we can get access to the underlying databases. It should not be too hard a job to write some piece of code
to read from the old wiki and write to the new wiki. All it would take is someone with a bit of programming savey.

If I can get it back online, login as admin and purg all the spam then I can
backup the entire wiki.
This will make it easier to save all the data for porting elsewhere - I can
even manually save all
the critical pages, text version plus wikiformatted version.

Thanks, Richard.
