Does anybody have any ideas or strong opinions about MoinMoin vs. DokuWiki? I have none. Both upstream projects seem to be pretty well supported and updated, although DokuWiki seems to have a smaller community and periodic spells of stagnation. In it's favor Elan knows it already and is willing to help support it. It seems like either one can be adapted for our needs. My original thought was to add the current state of affairs including the modified moinmoin source that currently powers the site to cvs and then work through upgrading moinmoin keeping appropriate modifications, then get all the broken bits working and start cleaning up the site from there. Future site maintenance would then be easier to continue or tweak by anyone with cvs access. However, the moinmoin install is so old (modified 1.3.3) that it looks like upgrading through 5 major releases will be as much work as switching to another engine if that's what folks want to see. Also the file structure has changed significantly several times, making cvs and it's lack of move/rename functions a cumbersome way to deal with this. Perhaps subversion or git would be a better option to manage whatever site source code we end up with? Additionally, can someone explain what is up with pld-users.org? It looks like this was an attempt to actually do what pld-linux.org ought to have been doing while it was actually stagnating. It seems like some of the best content there should be pulled over, and the parts of it that are now themselves out of date should be jettisoned. Thoughts on this?
