Garth Kidd <moinmoin-spam@deadlybloodyserious.com> previously spent time hacking away on ZWiki, but got sick of Zope. Now he's figuring out whether he wants to use MoinMoin for http://www.deadlybloodyserious.com/ (still nothing but a template).

2001-04-22: In one of those classic distraction moves, Garth has spent a lot of time trying to nail down bug 417833 in pydoc which he tripped over whilst trying to use it to view MoinMoin.Page and other modules in the package. As a result, he has made no progress with editing MoinMoin but to clean up init and clean up the manner in which MoinMoin.config handles setting defaults.

2001-04-20: Garth is still considering MoinMoin. Pant. Wheeze. Current questions are (with italicised answers from jh):

• how MoinMoin stores its data

  • answer: in flat text files

• how MoinMoin could be easily adapted to store its data (in a DB-API 2 compliant database, perhaps?

  • db support will come, but not easily

• whether MoinMoin could maintain appropriate metadata about which WikiNames are defined,

  • http://moin.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin/moin/TitleIndex?action=titleindex

• which are waiting to be defined (ie referenced in other pages)

  • WantedPages, OrphanedPages

• and whether the renderer can be broken out

  • see the Include macro, which formats other pages for includsion into the current page
