discussion

Could somebody give an ordered list what documents to read best in what order if somebody wants to start coding in MoinMoin? i think there is so much information that it is difficult for users to start. Should newcomers start with MoinMoinExtensions? -- ThiloPfennig DateTime(2006-02-08T16:39:27Z)
