We are done with the transition.

Basic summary:

- ftp server for wiki (not the ftp.lyx.org) is deceased.
  For uploading material use wiki-uploads.git, all developers have rw access.
  We need to do proxy for users, but I haven't seen this usage in past years,
  so we are probably fine with that solution.

- svn server is deceased.
  dictionary repo moved to dictionaries.git, all devs have rw access.
  www-user repo moved to www-user.git, previous contributors have rw access.

- www.lyx.org should work very similarly as before.

- wiki.lyx.org - there will be more changes here. Many modules seen updates,
  some modules do no exist anymore/no one updated for new PHP. I tried to fix
  the most flagrant cases, but I'm sure some corners won't work. 

- bug tracker (lyx.org/trac) - updated to the most recent version, some
  UI changes, but it should feel familiar. Few plugins were not ported
  to new python and do not work anymore - most notable keywords.
  We allow users to register again, let's see how that goes.
  Gmail often refuses traffic from trac, JMarc has ambition to spin full
  fledged mailing service with bells and whistles demanded by google
  at some moment.
  

I'll update relevant descriptions on our web/wiki to reflect the changes
in the coming days + smaller polishing left out.
If something does not work, please report back, we may or may not fix it ;)

This was a long ride, thanks JMarc for beating the trac dragon :)
