Well, moin has a rst parser, so you just need to feed your data into it. The most natural way would be of course if the data was stored on #format rst pages. Side note: that rst parser still needs a maintainer. :) > Is this feasible to do with MoinMoin plugins?

That's possible, but needs a rather dirty hack of Page/PageEditor classes until the storage backend api is fully functional and merged (moin 2.0). > It appears that this might be possible by writing a 'show' action plugin that > would handle the /Documentation pages itself, but delegate back to the > builtin > show action for all other pages; but this solution smells a little. Could work maybe. Maybe even less smelly than hacking Page/PageEditor. > Is there a better approach? Not right now. If you can wait, you can work with the moin-storage repo and write a backend that does what you want. > Would there be any gotchas doing it this way? Good question, that show action approach wasn't tried before. > Would this also require me to override most other builtin actions in a > similar way to avoid them trying to work on the non-exist > /Documentation/whatever wiki page? Well, if you want to avoid someone clicking edit or other actions and getting strange effects, you would have to do more stuff, yeah. BTW: will you be at EuroPython 2009?
