> yeah, we just need to announce it; blog post, sync article, and forum post. Can you draft it?


## Announcement/Forum Post

With the addition of Markdown support in the Workshop, we will be
shutting down wiki.workshop.perforce.com permanently from <insert
date>. All traffic will be redirected to the Workshop where you
can find both the docuemntation and the source code of the
projects.

This is part of the many enhancements we have been adding to the
Workshop. Please see the following blog post for more
information:

Thanks for contributing to the wiki all these years - see you all
in the Workshop!





## Blog Post/Sync Article

We have made a number of changes to the Workshop lately with the
aim to make it work better for everyone. Here are some of the most
prominent ones.

### Markdown

You can now submit documentation in the Markdown format and have
it rendered in the Workshop. Simply submit the files with one of
the following extensions: 'markdown', 'mdown', 'mkdn', 'md',
'mkd', 'mdwn', 'mdtxt', 'mdtext'.

If you contribute to one of the projects, you can submit a file
named "README.md" to main branch to have the file displayed in
the overview of the project page.

The Markdown support is an extension to Swarm which is
self-hosted in the Workshop in case you want to install it on
your Swarm server:

http://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/projects/perforce-software-workshop

Note that this is a community extension and not officially
supported by Perforce technical support.

### Retiring wiki.workshop.perforce.com

Since we have Markdown rendering within Swarm, we have migrated
all of our wiki pages to the Workshop so the documentation stays
with the project in one place.

Following the tradition of version everything, we have archived
the raw wiki source in the Workshop for future reference:

  https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/files/guest/lester_cheung/wiki-archive/mediawiki

### Download Buttons

You can now download an archive of any directory or project
branch directly from the Workshop using your browser.

<!-- let's not announcing this until we have auto-repo-creation done
### Git Fusion

You can now use git as a client to the Workshop thanks to
Git Fusion. You can configure git repository by defining a
Perforce client, for more information, please following the Git
Fusion Guide:

http://www.perforce.com/perforce/r15.1/manuals/git-fusion/chapter_dyn_ngj_3l.html#repos.config.fromp4workspace

The Git Fusion server is running at:

https://git.workshop.perforce.com

### Short URL

... makes sharing URLs much easier.


### Locked Clients ###

Clients are now locked by default. This is to prevent other users
from updating your client specification so there will be one less
April fool's surprise down the road.


### Stay tuned for more

The community development team is hard at work to bring your even
more features in the future - stay tuned for more updates as it
happens.


Share & enjoy!
