Export softimage wiki from archive into PDFs

Post by Nolan » 21 Aug 2021, 04:02

The softimage.com, (?? the domain home of the wiki ??) site now seems to redirect to "Softimage final release announcement"

First it would be good to find out if the 'xsi wiki' is going to be put back up anytime seen?

softimage.wiki.softimage.com ( this is showing a wayback error for me ) The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 303.)

https://web.archive.org Internet Archive

Would be good to archive the website in PDF, HTML Archive and any other formats.

The WayBack Machine is giving me errors. Can someone provide a link to there that works.

We could split the job amongst us by dividing into sections.

PanDoc tool for converting markup may be useful

I highly doubt the Softimage WIKI will ever return.
The Wayback Machine as a whole seems broken at the moment,
let's hope that that's just a temporary glitch... :-ss
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

The Wayback Machine seems to have resumed normal service.

Here are earlier downloads of HTTrack from softimageblog.com and wiki.softimage.com sites (unrar and start index.html). From these, the contents of wordpress and mediawiki databases could be accurately reconstructed and rehosted(?) or converted (HelpNDoc). Unfortunately, I don't have time for that.
