Refreshing a wiki to have MWB 2.x

Get a clean version for a new repo

This process re-instantiates the submodules, which is good for keeping MWB and MWT files out of the repo (there's a reference pointer to the repos, but the files themselves don't get added to the repo), and also good for local testing.

git clone git@github.com:Massive-Wiki/massive-wiki-starter.git developer.massive.wiki
cd developer.massive.wiki
rm -rf .git
git init
cd .massivewikibuilder
more ../.gitmodules # get addresses for MWB and MWT
rmdir massivewikibuilder massive-wiki-themes
git submodule add https://github.com/peterkaminski/massivewikibuilder.git
git submodule add https://github.com/peterkaminski/massive-wiki-themes.git
cd ..
git add .
git commit -m "start with Massive Wiki Starter"

Push this new repo to GitHub

gh repo create developer.massive.wiki --public --source=. --remote=upstream
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/GH-UserID/developer.massive.wiki.git
git push -u origin main

Copy content over from previous version

Local Testing

(add setting up venv, pip install, npm ci, etc.)
