Source code

MoinMoin is an easy-to-use, full-featured, and extensible wiki software package written in Python. You can run it on all common operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc.). In general, ensure that the documentation you are reading is written for the Moin version you are using. Much of the information you find in the wiki refers to Moin 1.9 and does not apply to Moin2. For support, please try the documentation, the home page, the IRC channel, the mailing lists, and GitHub issues before contacting the MoinMoin authors directly. If you have trouble with any web server configuration, please try reading the web server's documentation. The same applies to any other third-party software commonly used with Moin but not written by the MoinMoin developers. You're welcome to help us make MoinMoin even better! Whether you have experience with Python, HTML, or CSS, or are just starting out, there are many ways you can contribute — please see CONTRIBUTING. We thank the many people who have contributed their valuable ideas, time, and code — please see the contributors page.
