Hi all,

An instance of MoinMoin is up  at http://salaam.homeunix.com/gmwiki
We can give a try and check if it's easier for us to use and  maintain it...
I will also look at its documentation ...
Of course,twiki is also running...


Best regards,
carlos

Is it too late to ditch TWiki and swap to MoinMoin, which is a wiki written in Python rather than Perl? We use MoinMoin at work and although it doesn't have as many features as Twiki, it is trouble-free and also, for Pythonistas, the source code understandable. It is siple enough that the entire source can be examined in less than an hour, if you are keen (um, I skimmed through it...).

This discussion last came up around December after hherb.com had been hacked.
I don't think it would be a matter of "too late". Not a lot has been 
invested in anything that is "TWiki specific". I understand "TWiki 
forms" to be a big advantage but I have so far lacked the technical 
comfort to get them going. So only if someone else got it going with 
us having significant investment would it be more of a problem.
Mainly (I think) it was that David Grant was familiar enough to get 
TWiki installed originally, then he and Karsten installed it at 
hherb.com which was hacked through its vulnerability (Horst has 
himself used TikiWiki being more sure of its security... it is however 
written in php). Then Carlos and David installed / set up TWiki at 
salaam.
If someone were to set up MoinMoin I would happily invest what time I 
can to get a bit more familiar with it. If someone deciphered its 
directory structure (maybe creating a Gnumed web within it) it could 
be tried copying the existing pages from TWiki and we could see what 
results. But the opening of this paragraph were key (as it is with 
this project in general): "If someone were to set up..."
