Hi All,
Many of you will have noticed that there have been many changes recently to the locations of WeBWorK's online resources, and you may have had troubles accessing those resources.
This note is to let you know where you can find things now that everything has switched to MAA hosting.
Please update any bookmarks, and please let us know when you find broken links or things not behaving like you expect. Here is a list of the changes:
1. The wiki is back to webwork.maa.org/
2. The moodle forums are back to webwork.maa.org/moodle
3. The webwork bugzilla is now at bugs.webwork.maa.org
Perhaps most importantly,
4. Source code development and management has switched from CVS to a very similar (but in many ways easier to use) version control system called Subversion (SVN).
Instructions for using SVN to checkout the source code and links to instructions for converting your installation to SVN will be at
http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Subversion
This is one area where we have to work out a couple of remaining snags before this is completely ready. There is a warning message on that wiki page which will be removed in the next few days after things are fixed. However, the code can be viewed online at svn.webwork.maa.org/viewvc.
*All* webwork resources can be logged into with your wiki username and wiki password, but local login accounts will still work (e.g. you can still use your email address and original bugzilla password to log in to bugzilla).
The one tool that doesn't apply to is SVN - developers with commit access to the SVN repository can *only* commit using their wiki username and wiki password (i.e. your login credentials from the old cvs server won't work).
Let me know if you have any questions. And when you find broken links or references to the old sites in the wiki or elsewhere, please either let us know (e.g. by replying here), or also, every registered user is welcome to edit the wiki and it would be very helpful if some of you can fix those things when you find them.

The links to the various contexts from the following page are all broken:
http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Specialized_contexts
I noticed that the URLs that should be linked all reference "cvs". For example, one link goes to
http://webwork.maa.org/doc/cvs/pg_CURRENT/macros/contextLimitedPolynomial.pl
In fact, all links that are similar to this seem broken currently from the wiki.
Thanks,
- Brian

Brian,
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll get it fixed in the next couple of days. (It's not just the links - the docs aren't there to be linked to yet.)

Brian,
I've begun putting up the pod docs at
http://webwork.maa.org/pod
I'll go through and fix links once I'm more confident it's all working correctly, but this will get you started.

Hi Brian,
Well, scratch that. We need the apache module mod_include to resolve the server side include directives in the pod html pages. However, there seems to be some conflict between mod_include and the dav_svn module that handles subversion requests - loading mod_include in the apache config wrecked svn commits, so I had to disable it (and therefore take down the pod docs).
So, we're looking into this. I'll let you know when the pod docs are up again. (In the meantime, of course, you can also view the pod directly from the source files.)
