1.6 doesn't need those patches.

You then want to start the server with ./wiki/server/moin start. (In 1.6, it's just ./moin start.) -- TheAnarcat 2007-07-26 01:24:16

How to setup a wiki environment in a python shell for debugging

$ cd /usr/local/www/wiki/config
$ python
>>> import MoinMoin
>>> import farmconfig
>>> from MoinMoin.request import RequestCLI
>>> request = RequestCLI('wiki.koumbit.net/WikiKoumbit')

Welcome! Please change your login and homepage to a realname. -- ThomasWaldmann 2004-07-17 12:20:33

• But... but.. I like this nickname! I use it everywhere, why should I use my real name here? If you are just curious, my real name is AntoineBeaupré. -- TheAnarcat

I prefer to call you Antoine, but if you insist I'll call you The (I never understood Internet nicknames) -- NirSoffer 2004-07-18 00:18:32

• BTW, I thought at first 'NirSoffer' was a nickname... take no offense ! -- PascalBauermeister 2004-07-20 (whose name is 12 chars long, a curse on VAX/VMS and 8.3 stuff)

TheAnarcat sounds more like a handle than a nickname (I assume nobody calls you that way in real life). IMHO a more interesting question is Why should someone want not to use one's name? -- AlexandreDuretLutz 2004-07-20 09:10:55

TheAnarcat is prefect to me. It seems(?) to be a usage ¹ on this wiki to use 'real' names, but after all, does a real name speak more about a person than a nickname? the most important is that you feel well here, and be how you like to be. Finally (and important), you're not anonymous since we know you're Antoine... -- PascalBauermeister 2004-07-20 (who has not yet found a cool WikiWiki nickname)

This is fun. Yes, TheAnarcat is a handle I chose for myself, as no one calls me this in Real Life. -- TheAnarcat

• Hey, sometimes I slip and call you that in person, I hope that's fine ! -- RobinMillette 2005-05-14

It is traditional to use Real Names (see RealNamesPlease). Some people will see it as rude to use a nickname, other may suspect that you are trolling (TrollDefinition) and may be more inclined to revert or delete pages you have touched. The rules can be different on this wiki, but your use of a nickname has already distracted four or five other people enough to comment on it. Personally, I have no problem with it - except for the five minutes I just spent commenting on it. -- JohnWhitlock

Hey, thanks for submitting the bug and the fix for MoinMoinBugs/IncludeMacroBroken. It's been bugging me for over a month. -- JohnWhitlock 2006-04-04 22:06:18

Hi, The Just a hint, because I'm seeing you being sent an e-mail on every little change I do on RatingSystemForMoin: You are likely to reduce your e-mail trafic by unchecking "Subscribe to trivial changes" from your user preferences. In case you already knew - sorry for bothering. -- ZoranIsailovski 2007-11-08 08:26:35
