+I have manage to recover most of the site using the Internet Archive. What
+I was unable to retrieve I have rewritten. You can find a copy of the code
+at <http://github.com/mithro/media2iki>
+
+> This is excellent news. However, I'm still keen on there being a

+> [[licensing|freesoftware]] reasons), but it's excellent to have it available
+> for reference, especially since it (currently) is the only set of
+> instructions that gives you the whole history.
+>
+> The `mediawiki.pm` that was at u32.net is licensed GPL-2. I'd like to see it
+> cleaned up and added to IkiWiki proper (although I haven't requested this
+> yet, I suspect the way it (ab)uses linkify would disqualify it at present).

+Hello. Got ikiwiki running and I'm planning to convert my personal
+Mediawiki wiki to ikiwiki so I can take offline copies around. If anyone
+has an old copy of the instructions, or any advice on where to start I'd be
+glad to hear it. Otherwise I'm just going to chronicle my journey on the
+page.--[[users/Chadius]]

+> Since wikipedia uses mediawiki, perhaps his importer will work
