Does what we have now work? Yes. Is there any reason why we should consider moving from Moin to some other Wiki system? Your turn to answer.
At work, I use a ridiculous range of wiki engines. I've used Moin and MediaWiki most heavily.
Reasons for picking Moin are typically:
- it'll do
- it's not PHP
- it doesn't use a database.
Reasons for picking MediaWiki are typically:
- it'll do
- people know how to use Wikipedia.
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. Our reason was that our Moin wiki was just somehow not as usable as we wanted from a wiki, so we gave MediaWiki a go and it was good enough to bother moving engines. Also, the Moin wiki was full of outdated rubbish, so this was a handy excuse to start over.
"somehow not as usable" isn't a strong argument either. 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. Do we actually have a problem with spam on the Wiki?
If there is, I'll hereby put my hand up to help.
You were implying that there IS a problem with 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?
