Export lizards-o-o database and send out contents to writers
100%
Description
Hi,
Considering that lizards-o-o has been dead for a while (with exception
of YaST guys, but I will work that out with them seperately), it would
be nice to export database and send out the articles written by users
back to them. We should offer planet-o-o as a replacement instead.
I can handle reaching out with packaged posts to respective users, I
would just need exported wordpress database to extract their posts :P
After that lizards-o-o could be safely closed down.

The wordpress backend has an export tool which gives me a 13 MB XML file, and another export option for media (which gives me a 2.7 MB XML file which seems to include links to the uploaded pictures). These files seem to be intended for re-importing them in another wordpress instance.
Would that also work for you?

If it outputs for all the users, it's perfect

I just made you an admin on lizards.o.o so that you can get that export yourself ;-)
Please login, and then go to https://lizards.opensuse.org/wp-admin/export.php

Alright, I went ahead and exported everything, and sent to everybody that had still valid email address, and sent email to project mailing list regarding the rest of the people that require contacting. Just to repeat, the full list is:
- aorlovskyy
- gogga
- hobbsc
- idulk
- kdupuy9
- michl19
- nikanth
- rhorstkoetter
- sjayaraman
- UngaMan
- holden87
- visnov
- MarcusMoeller
- sfalken
The rest has been contacted and notified about closing of the lizards, but I suspect that we will not be able to contact everybody anyway.
From here, the tasks left are to:
- Host YaST team's website on servers
- Upload wp public into https://github.com/openSUSE/lizards
- Host the public on lizards-o-o instead of wordpress

We have a very old dump of the wgot contents of lizards.o.o on https://github.com/openSUSE/lizards, and it would be good to update that instead of reinventing anything. This was previously done by mcaj, if you don't mind, I will assign doing this for the current state to you.
