Calyx,
The answer is in the line
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/share/moin/data/edit-log'
Moin does not have write permission to this file. I can't say why the
permissions on this file were changed.
To fix this, give write permission to the effective user of the Moin
process. This may be a matter of adding group write permission or of
changing the ownership of the file to the Moin user, depending on your
situation.
