Contents from the retrosoftware.co.uk site
This is a full export of the MediaWiki site from 18-09-2016.
It would be great if we could convert the XML content to the Github wiki format.
If anyone has time, and PHP installed, perhaps they could take a look at: https://github.com/philipashlock/mediawiki-to-markdown
Alternatively, if there's a way to convert the WikiMedia content to a HTML site that would be a great option too, since we could host it using Github pages.
Another option - https://github.com/peterjc/mediawiki_to_git_md
Which is a python solution, that I tried to have a quick go at - https://github.com/stardot/retrosoftware.co.uk/tree/master/python-converter
The results are workable, but a lot of html/edge cases need weeding out - see the sample output here: https://github.com/stardot/retrosoftware.co.uk/tree/master/python-converter/wiki
Supposing we just want to preserve the content, then maybe the best bet is to get a 'good enough' markdown conversion of each page from the original site before it went offline, and then we can hand tweak each file over time to make them render ok.
There's a demo of this now hosted at: https://stardot.github.io/retrosoftware.co.uk/
This is using a basic minima default theme, possibly we should try a different Jekyll theme with a side bar navigation such as: https://github.com/poole/lanyon
