FWIW, I have migrated a MoinMoin wiki to MediaWiki, due to similar considerations. How hard this will be depend largely on how much you currently use tables, smileys, macros and processors. The table syntax for MediaWiki is quite a bit different (more primitive in most respects, but handles multi-line cells, which is a big plus). Other features, like headings, URL and inter-wiki linking, text markup, etc, are very similar, and you can probably convert most pages with only these basic features with an automated tool. -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Corporation of America ============================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
