Status

This is a known bug when running FwSync against the experimental build of FlexWiki. It is due to changes being made to the ContentBase that result in it being unable to be turned into XML with XmlSerializer. The fix is to add some XmlIgnore attributes to the offending properties of ContentBase. A unit test that can replicate the bug has been identified, but (2004-04-16) has not been coded, nor a fix been entered. -- CraigAndera
