Migrate to Tiki! I've written a MoinMoin to Tiki migration tool, called "Moin2Tiki". It lets you migrate your MoinMoin wiki to the Tiki wiki engine. It reads the MoinMoin pages, converts them to Tiki markup and feeds them to a Tiki server. Moin2Tiki comes with an AppImage of the program. This means that you don't need to compile it yourself. See the Quick Start Guide for details [5]. Why have I switched to Tiki? There are a couple of things I don't like about MoinMoin. There also are some features I want, which aren't available there. You can see a list at [6]. Please note that Tiki is much larger, with much more features and thus more complicated than MoinMoin. Especially if you use MoinMoin just as a desktop wiki. It takes some effort to install and configure it. But it's also highly configurable. If you only use the wiki part, it isn't that complicated. See [4]. I'm using Tiki as a desktop wiki myself. See Tiki for Smarties [3] for installation and configuration instructions. Moin2Tiki doesn't support all of MoinMoin. So far, there are some limitations, some serious. For instance,?only one user is supported. And it won't be possible to write a program that migrates all of MoinMoin's macros and parsers. But I might be willing to improve Moin2Tiki, if there is any interest. Please see [4]. For more information on Tiki, see the Tiki homepage [1]. The homepage of Moin2Tiki is at [2].
