What MoinMoin is

MoinMoin is an extensible wiki engine for collaborative web pages that users can edit easily. It is Free Software under the GNU GPL and can be self-hosted across Linux, UNIX, BSD, Mac OS X, Windows, and OpenVMS, with server options including CGI, WSGI, and a standalone Python HTTP server. Editing is available through either a WYSIWYG interface or text markup. Search can cover titles, full text, multiple terms, and Boolean expressions; Xapian indexing extends it to attachments and older revisions. Page history includes revision lists and comparisons between versions. Configurable edit locks or warnings help manage editing conflicts, while RSS feeds report RecentChanges. Access controls include page permission lists, authentication methods, web server authentication reuse, and modular single sign-on. Extensions include macros, parsers, actions, formatters, XML-RPC, and themes. MoinMoin stores page content in directories and does not require an external SQL database. The download page lists version 1.9.11, while the 2.0 repository is described as unstable and alpha quality at best. Free support is available through the project wiki, mailing list, and chat; paid support is also offered by consultants and developers.
