Hi Rick, I think I'll follow your advice!
I found some good documents to do the technical installation, but do you know whether something is available on how you actually tackle a MoinMoin project? We would like to use it for 2 parts: - a wiki where IT information is made available to the endusers - an intranet to share general information I absolutely want to avoid that it becomes a structure-less mess. I chose MoinMoin mainly because the comparison-matrix shows it can support wiki & intranet. (what's the technical difference?). For some of teh sections I will have to implement security on the pages (preferably with AD authentication), is this easy to implement? to make a long story short, I guess I'm looking for some kind of tips&tricks to get going in a structured way. I'm browsing through a lot of fora (on whatever wiki-brand) to get ideas from people that already did it. cheers, Dirk 2009/3/25 Rick Vanderveer <rick.vanderv...@gmail.com> > Hey Dirk, > Moin basically has one single dependency; Python.
