Hi Shaun, I have to jump in here, because I am slo active in the MoinMoin wiki project.
You can als have better navigation with MoinMoin (new theme, quick
links). The problem with the live wiki is, that it is VERY outdated.
The version 1.2.3 is from july 2004. MoinMoin is now at 1.5.1. Before
this were the 1.3.x versions. This would mean to choose GNOME 2.6 today
, where we nearly have GNOME 2.14. Another project using MoinMoin is
Fedora:
http://www.fedoraproject.org. There you can see how much you
can make of a MoinMoin wiki, although it is already outdated.
A good point in MoinMoin is, that it is easily extendable with plugins
and it is written in Python and it is being highly actively developed.
That means that GNOME can very easy add all functionally it likes to
have. I think GNOME has many good Python programmers.
The wiki technology MoinMoin presents is hardly used (categories for
example). The good thing about wikis is, that they do not limit you in
any way, but a CMS does. A CMS is good if you want to do 2-3 things. A
wiki is better if you do not know what future will bring. I would vote
for a live wiki as a background for many projects and to have specific
sites like
www.gnome.org that use other technology.
I do agree though that the current use and installation of the wiki
will not suffice for future needs. But that's what I am talking about
for seven months now. There are about 20-30 issues I guess that should
be solved soon.
