[OpenSPIM] Wiki read-only for a while

[Curtis Rueden]

Hi everyone,

The migration to the new web server is complete.

The site http://openspim.org/ has been updated to MediaWiki 1.27.0. We have
done a full audit of all installed extensions, pruning out the ones which
were not being used, and upgrading the rest. There were quite a few changes
on the technical side; e.g., the OggHandler extension was discontinued in
favor of TimedMediaHandler. Videos on the wiki seem to be working fine with
this new extension, but please speak up if you notice otherwise.

We also upgraded the MantisBT bug tracker to the latest version 1.2.19,
which went smoothly.

Loose ends still to resolve:

* Disappearance of "openspim.org" title at the top of each page.
* Twitter feed embedded on
http://openspim.org/EMBO_practical_course_Light_sheet_microscopy
* "Array" text shown in footer instead of creative commons logo
* Possible issue with wiki no longer sending emails (e.g., for password
resets)

We will continue to investigate and fix the above issues as time allows.

Let us know if you notice any other weirdness or brokenness.

Regards,
Curtis
