Wiki. Clouded. Redirect soon.
First off, a huge thank you to our awesome and patient community. Thanks to all of you, we’ve taken care of the last few issues and are now confident we can finally shut down the wiki.vcu.edu server.
While the server itself will go offline, we’re implementing some clever redirects for the wiki.vcu.edu domain. Our goal is to make sure your old bookmarks still get you right to your Wiki Space in the Cloud, and hopefully give you a slightly shorter, friendlier URL to use too. These redirects will go live on Monday, July 14th.
A Note on the “Mosaic” Plugin
We also want to update you on something else. We recently discovered that an enabled plugin, “Mosaic,” became inactive because its trial period ended. We weren’t fully aware of how many of you were actively using and benefiting from it, and we’ve definitely heard your requests about looking into procurement options.
While previous discussions with the vendor weren’t very promising regarding its feasibility, we are still actively investigating the possibility of acquiring it. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this unexpected change has caused.
