Hello,

I have noticed that, in the last weeks, accessing the documentation Wiki  has become so painfully slow...

 Has the wiki being moved to a different server? It used  to work pretty fast before the revamping of the Mahara site.

Regards

Hi,

You're right the new wiki is slow... it's a combination of the wiki engine itself and probably being hosted on a server in NZ isn't helping either - the last point I believe Catalyst is working towards fixing sometime soon - at least having mahara.org (or wiki.mahara.org) on a server in the states or somewhere else will make it a bit better :)

By the way, depending on where exactly you are, the situation is particularly bad *today* - I'm in Zürich and there's a machine between me and NZ dropping packets like crazy - same for some people in the UK I talked to.

Furthermore, it's being hosted on a machine very under-specced for the job. Various artifical (read annoying, sometimes political) barriers have been thrown up that is making it difficult for me to move it elsewhere

Currently, there's discussion about us getting hosting in the States or Canada sometime soon, I've made sure the appropriate people know that we want to move mahara.org and the wiki there.
