MoinMoin: FeatureRequests/VersioningOfAttachments

Allow to store multiple Versions of the same Document as Attachment

That feature will "automatically" get implemented when we unify pages and attachments. Won't happen for 1.5.x and also not for 1.6, but is planned for as soon as possible. (See UnifyPagesAndAttachments)

The Story

We use MoinMoin as an internal software development project wiki, where architects and developers document the whole project. This includes adding documents received from our customers as attachments. When a new version of a document is received, we now have to give this document a new name in the wiki, as we need to keep track of the different versions. This unfortunately clutters the attachment page with entries like "Document1_version_1.0", Document1_version_1.0_feedback_integrated" ..... and so on. It would be nice if we could attach the same document again and a new version in the wiki is created, with a comment describing the new version. The attachment page would only show the newest version plus a little icon showing more versions are available. Clicking on this icon would open this entry and show all available versions with the appropriate comments

What I Want to Avoid

Cluttering of the attachment page with several versions of the same document stored under different names

Whoelse Will Benefit?

This feature is usefull for all users which have to keep track of changes in files attached to a page, especially if a page has more files attached.
