I don't think this will technically work with MoinMoin, since it needs the URL prefix to distinguish between the wiki instances in a farm installation. We could have a redirect from anything not a wiki instance prefix to wiki.python.org/moin/\1, but the wiki pages themselves would still need to use the /moin/ prefix. BTW: What's so bad about the prefix advertising the use of MoinMoin for the Python.org wiki ? -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Dec 19 2011) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
