I don't write these requirements, I just try to comply.
We have two wiki installations named "spw" and "spw_public" that have
slightly different PHP code sets. They live in different URLs. We want to make the
display contents identical. The "spw" can be edited; the "spw_public"
is read-only. These have separate underlying databases and images collections, etc.
The "spw" will always be the canonical source. The "spw_public"
should look the same to site visitors, but it does not need to have any revision history.
What would be a good way to "sync" them? Is there a standard process for
backing up and restoring a mediawiki installation, so that I could backup "spw"
and restore it to "spw_public?"
Thanks and regards, Ray
