Thanks for looking into this! The parser used is this one: https://moinmo.in/ParserMarket/ImprovedTableParser It also needs some libraries that were developed for Moin extensions: http://hgweb.boddie.org.uk/MoinSupport The reason for developing such a parser is that Moin's tables are not very nice to edit once they have column data above a certain size. Moreover, the standard Moin table only supports limited formatting, unlike MediaWiki's tables (although MediaWiki's syntax is not as nice, generally). As for that page itself, it probably needs another update or two. A recent discussion on this list indicated a level of interest in open hardware platforms, and some of the vendors sell open hardware as well as the usual products running Free Software, so perhaps there's some interest in maintaining a reliable resource about such topics.
