A Wiki, written in Python. It uses the filesystem for storage of pages (as opposed to a database), employs caching to speed up page serving, has support for serving multiple wikis through a single server process. MoinMoin also does page locking, to prevent concurrent edit smashing.

For ideological reasons, it does not support forums: it is a resolutely wikish wiki.

MoinMoin can use Apache, Twisted or its own Python built-in web server. Since it is written in Python, it runs under Windows, MacOS and Linux, plus other more exotic platforms.

I find it attractive for its simplicity. Not reccomended for large complex sites, which would probably work better with a proper database-backed CMS, such us our own beloved Everything2 or the MediaWiki system used by Wikipedia.

Y'know, if you log in, you can write something here, or contact authors directly on the site. Create a New User if you don't already have an account.
