Absolutely it is time to go back to <a href="http://bifx.org">bifx.org</a>. I haven't got so much time this week, but from next week I can help to start moving things.<br><br>One issue is the pdbase database. If I recall well we still depend on it but the servers at MPI are going to be gone some time soon I guess. We could try to have it in <a href="http://bifx.org">bifx.org</a> but maybe that's asking for too much space. Another thing we could do relatively easily is do without pdbase and use directly the cif files but of course that still requires a local PDB copy. In any case the update pipeline itself runs still from the MPI servers and it's something we would need to move too. <br>
<br>Ok that's probably too many things for now, let's try to do one at a time ;)<br><br>Jose<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 6 October 2010 12:14, Dan Bolser <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dan.bolser@gmail.com">dan.bolser@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I believe that MW is quite solid security wise, with security being<br>
improved all the time (i.e. we should upgrade MW when we move).<br>
However, extensions are another matter. One of the main reasons the<br>
MediaWiki Foundation sites carry so few extensions is that each one<br>
needs a security audit before it is allowed.<br>
<br>
The best we can do is to make sure we have up to date versions of all<br>
the extensions that we use and that the apache / php installs are also<br>
'locked down' as best as possible.<br>
<br>
I'll start looking at migration this weekend.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
