I'm a Python developer that's currently looking into new ways to maintain and generate Python documentation, as well as the entire python.org site. I'm currently working on a fully automatic python.org to moinmoin converter; here are some sample pages:
Suggestions on how to improve the translation are welcome, but there's no need to fix the pages above. At this point, bugs should be fixed in the converter, not on this wiki.
For more information on this "SkunkWorks" project, see:
http://pydotorg.dyndns.org:8000 (dynamic, not always online)
http://effbot.org/zone/pydotorg (static)
And yes, pointers to documentation on the "official way" to preload a moinmoin wiki with content would be welcome.
- You can use XMLRPC, simple calls into the modules (by using RequestCLI) and raw generation of the data dir structure.
I couldn't get XMLRPC to work on my test setup (MoinMoin refuses to create new pages via XMLRPC), but generating a raw data dir works just fine for now. A plain "REST" interface would be nice.
Look into wikirpc.putpage, there are some comments about security. Creating pages on the file system works for the current version of moin, but WILL break when we change the backend (and we will change it). -- ThomasWaldmann 2006-01-22 16:04:10

Welcome Fredrik!
Maybe add some more content to this page, so noone just deletes it (Testing pages get deleted daily).

Thanks! For the time being, I'm just fooling around (see comp.lang.python if you want to know why). Hope I'm not consuming too much resources 
Just a hint: try LESS hierachies. Make life in wiki easier.
Sure. But my experiment is, as you've noticed, related to something that has a certain hierarchy. Does hierarchies cause problems (overhead, etc) for MoinMoin? -- FredrikLundh 2006-01-19 23:05:50
- Not for Moin, rather for the human editor.
For linking other sites, interwiki is nice. E.g. instead of full URLs to link to pythonwiki just use RecentChanges.
