Moin is sounding better to me so far. Less overhead is good. Generally, people pick a Wiki that Just Works (TM). Unfortunately, they pretty much all do, so there's no absolute "this is better". The existence of so many different Wiki systems is testament to that. > I did a move at work from Moin to MediaWiki, on the intranet wiki ten > of us use all day every day.

Specifically what issues do you have with Moin, and are they present on wiki.winehq.org? >> Number of new users is not necessarily proportional to number of new >> spammers.

I see a request elsewhere on wine-devel to have an IP blocked, so that's one spammer out of how many new users?
