I would not place the RecentChanges macro onto page_front_page.

Better have some generic content there, telling about what the wiki is, 
some pointers to important pages, etc. - if your wiki runs open with 
read/write for anyone, maybe even write protect the main page (the real 
content is on other pages anyway), so no idiot will deface your main page.

I didn't try that one.

Next version will still support the same server methods as now.

I guess standalone will stay for long as it is a nice way to get it 
working fast and good for desktop or small group usage.

Oh. :|

mod_python runs everything under the same user, so if you have different 
clients on the same server, there will be security problems.

It also has miscellaneous, strange bugs (maybe in older versions more 
than in later ones - I don't know exactly as I don't use it).

Maybe just do a search on the moinmoin wiki for mod_python or modpy etc. 
and look at the bugs.
