about me

I first ventured into MoinMoin around version 1.1.

My site's wiki, SysadMoin is a place for my husband and I, as well as students and clients of ours, to make technical notes about systems administration.

I've been using my /BrowserCollection to test things at times as moin 1.5 approaches release.

bug chasing

Does this flunk or work: "This is a test of the emergnecy moin system" is annoying

Just bugs with stylesheet possibly involved, for my own sanity:

Bright Theming

For the theme's basic structure see ThemeMarket, get balanced or balanced2, and expect to need to edit them a bit to taste.

Dark Theming

Our consulting site has a dark theme, so my fascination was to MakeMoinMoinDark too.

• In 1.1 this was purely a hack on my part. Enjoying customizing, I changed the size of navbar images, moved the page title around, and possibly other tweaks that I've forgotten. I wandered into MoinMoinChat to discuss it (and to be careful not to break things; this was my first dive into Python.)

• In 1.2 the theme usage had been generalized, partly based on my comments about hardcoded items. ThomasWaldmann releases dark theme starshine into the main tree. (thanks! cool!)

• I had been away at other things for some time while 1.3's release had come and gone. So, moin 1.3 has no dark theme in it The theme engine is its own thing now, so I am once again playing with dark theming, to learn the new way of it.

For 1.3, NirSoffer is working on a modern based theme called technical; I'm working on a dark form of classic, tentatively rembrandt. Those impatient to see classic_dark before I release rembrandt to ThemeMarket (or into the sources tree) are encouraged to visit my wiki and comment on contrast issues or any differences besides color, from classic behavior.

• Note that technical will not be a dark theme at the end, but there are other dark themes already available from ThemeMarket, like ruleta and matrix, based on an early stage of technical.

  Funny you mention that, Nir; I did a beautiful dark background and have attached it to SinglePageSlideShow as an example there for good dark slides. I should probably do a less complicated image too...

Efforts to fix percieved misbehaviors in classic will be saved up for my real work on a starshine theme, where I hope to re-enact my favorite customizations from the old 1.1 days.

So far in my theming plans I am frustrated by being able to replace the size and filename of "icons" but not "smileys". See IconReFactoring for more details

Not Using Apache

Yeah, I know, it's down for maintenance, may be up on moin 1.6 soon... I should merge it into the moinmaster docs, anyway.

These notes should be useful to not just thttpd users, but anyone whose webserver of choice does not have URL rewriting features, or who for reasons of their own (hosting rules maybe?) must keep all their files in one tree.
