IRC: I am often on #moin and #moin-dev on chat.freenode.net (and also on #python, #python.de, ...). I don't use a nickname, but just ThomasWaldmann.
I am the MoinMoin wiki project administrator and joined the PSF in 2009.
If you have any moin questions / wishes, just ask.
Ideas for PSF wiki
General
more people could create their personal home page, so it is linked from RecentChanges when they do edits
- or, alternatively, they could check the option in their user settings to publish their email there instead
Technical
- 1.7.1 is a bit old already (debian?), 1.8.x would look a bit fresher ("modernized" theme)
- this is nothing pressing, but if folks here would be happy with something fresher, I offer to help with upgrading
- this wiki is using xapian indexed search. xapian is for sure faster than the non-indexed standard search of moin, but as the PSF wiki does not have many pages, maybe the non-indexed search would be fast enough and work better (indexed search can only find stuff that was put into the index, the slow search also can find any substrings).
- if indexing of file attachments is important, stay with xapian as the slow search can't search attachments
- action menu:
has CopyPage - the semantics of this action are a bit strange, if you do not really use it, maybe rather disable it
- does have "Load", but not "Save" - did people confuse "Save" with saving in the editor or why?
rst parser usage - hey, there seem to be some ReST users here!
I have been (unsuccessfully) trying for a while to get some maintainer for the rst parser in MoinMoin, it definitely needs some more love but noone of the current moin devs is using it in production.
