Short description Add an option to the config file to append a 'file type' (a.k.a. extension) to the end of the page data files.

Why? Because I use a local wiki on my PC, and I also replicate other wiki's to my PC, and I'd like to be able to search them all with Google Desktop. Google Desktop can be made to index a file with any file type, but not to index files without a type.

Maybe a config file option such as AppendFileType = '.foo'

This would be useful to anyone trying to search wiki pages from a search tool that is not a part of MoinMoin.

No configurable file extensions. If file extensions have advantages for many users, we should simply use them by default. Please request this feature from Google: "Index files without extension as text" Why? because MoinMoin does not use file extensions... :) -- NirSoffer 2005-06-04 21:03:54

I read that you can extend GDS easily with Python plugins. Maybe you can write one which reads the MoinMoin pages directly.
