Hi, everyone,

Could you tell me why you voted for which one?

It might help those of us who are undecided.
First let me say, I don't care a lot and I don't have much experience with Confluence. One thing I do like about MoinMoin is the markup in the text representation which looks nice to cut and paste into emails for votes and such, so you can draft a proposal on the Wiki and then cut and paste into a readable format for the official vote on the list. I think Confluence has a text version too although in my opinion not as readable.

I noticed a Jira issue for Cassandra [1] when they moved from Confluence to Moin. They said their reasons were:

o more consistent with other apache projects
o better/easier to remember url, http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra vs. http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CSDR/Index
o uses a more mainstream markup that more people will be familiar with.
o looks better (although I admit this is subjective)

(They also said they had an active volunteer that liked Moin better.)

I also found this comparison [2] which might be helpful.

Hope that helps.
