Thanks, Tom, for this information. What I am wondering is who is supposed to 
do these missing peaces? And what is the exit criteria, ie. do we launch in
any case, even if these parts are still missing in two weeks?

We talked about that a bit in the project meeting yesterday. People asked
why there isn't a public call for help. I understand that it is important
that people who want to help with the migration understand the new concepts
to make the new wiki a success. OTOH I see that for many of the still missing
parts we need the experts who formerly maintained the pages, and these aren't
probably able to catch up with the new wiki concepts in the remaining time.

So how can this be helped?
1. We make the info about the new wiki concepts easier consumeable, ie. with
the help of a screencast so that people easily can consume it and know how to
work in the new wiki and start.
2. The current members of the Wiki team do the work where the expert wiki knowledge
is needed (ie. create stub pages in the right context in the new wiki, do formatting
etc.)  and afterwards catch the experts and ask them to more or less "copy and paste"
the content into the new page and rework it from the content POV.

Maybe one of these ideas can help? What does the wiki team think? 

regards,

Klaas
