<br></blockquote></div><br>I think some experimentation is in order to see how well the engines work for the variety of content we have. Undoubtedly some manual cleanup will be required. Also, we'll want to deprecate the wiki pages as we go in order to maintain the work in just the git repos.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">thx<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><font><font>Walter Bender</font></font><br><font><font>Sugar Labs</font></font></div><div><font><a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank"><font>http://www.sugarlabs.org</font></a></font><br><a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank"><font></font></a><br></div></div></div>
