Move your wiki to Git. Keep it trustworthy.
Custodara is Xcelerent’s wiki-to-Git migration assessment for teams whose operating knowledge is stuck in wiki pages, attachments, outdated links, ownership gaps, and review cycles that are hard to audit.
The assessment does not assume a hosted platform or a big-bang migration. It maps your current wiki structure, migration risks, governance needs, and practical route into Markdown and Git so the knowledge can be reviewed, versioned, and owned.
Who this is for#
Finance, operations, compliance, reporting, product, and knowledge teams that depend on wiki content but need stronger governance:
- important procedures, policies, decisions, and runbooks
- pages with unclear owners, stale review dates, or duplicated guidance
- attachments and images that must survive migration
- internal links, cross-references, and page hierarchies that people rely on
- teams that want a local-first, auditable knowledge base before adding future search or AI workflows
What the assessment covers#
- Knowledge inventory - map spaces, pages, owners, review status, attachments, and migration risk.
- Content model - define Markdown structure, front matter, file naming, and repository layout.
- Asset and link preservation - identify how attachments, images, anchors, and internal links should move.
- Governance design - establish ownership, review evidence, approval flow, and change history.
- Migration pathway - recommend a staged plan, sample conversion, acceptance checks, and handover approach.
How I approach it#
1. Map the current wiki#
We start with one important space or content set. I identify structure, source formats, owners, stale areas, sensitive content, and the links or assets that cannot be lost.
2. Design the governed repository#
I propose a Markdown and Git structure that your team can understand: folders, naming, front matter, review fields, ownership signals, and practical checks for broken links or missing assets.
3. Prove the path#
We convert a representative slice, review the output, record gaps, and decide whether a broader migration is worth doing now.
Good outcomes#
- Teams can see what will move, what needs cleanup, and what should stay behind.
- Markdown files have clear ownership, review status, and change history.
- Attachments, images, and internal links get explicit preservation rules.
- Git becomes a practical governance layer, not just a developer tool.
- The migrated knowledge is ready for future search or AI workflows because sources and review evidence are clearer.
Where MarkLogic, KNIME, and AI fit#
Custodara is the assessment and migration-governance front door. If a later phase needs search, workflow automation, or document processing, Xcelerent can bring in MarkLogic, KNIME, Python, or AI-assisted review patterns. The first priority is preserving trustworthy knowledge in a format your team can own.
