Hi Chris,
In Instiki the storage format should be copatible between 0.9.2 and
0.10.2. You could have simply used the same storage directory :-)
If you have two different wikis now, you must open the old web (just
run instiki --storage=/path/to/old/storage --port=some_other_port) and
export the web as textile. You should then hack the source a bit to
enable import of old webs, and import the old web into the new one.
Look at the list archives on how to enable it (mucking about in
app/controllers/file_controller.rb IIRC).
HTH,
Assaph
