Working on new forms, macros, actions, themes, etc. Trying to duplicate all the important bits of my last major TWiki installation in MoinMoin.

Allowing arbitrary text to have tooltips

This is kind of silly from a syntax perspective, but it's useful from a reader's. This allows you to let any text string have a popup help tooltip when you mouseover it:

See MacroMarket/HelpTitle for the details..

Attaching multiple files at the same time through archives

The first wiki mod we did to our previous installation was allowing people to upload .zip files to pages, and having the wiki attach all the files they contained, as an easy way to upload many files at the same time. While I'm not actually working on this, I outlined what we had to check on the discussion page for it, FeatureRequests/UploadMultipleAttachmentFiles.

Providing an ACL for new user creation

In line with some of the blog and other development projects I'm working on, I have some public wikis where I'd like All users to be able to browse around, Known users to be able to read and edit, but only myself or Known or Trusted or WhateverGroup users to be able to create accounts.

FlorianFesti suggested I use an ACL for this and pointed me in the right direction, so I did. See FeatureRequests/NewUserCreationACL for the details.

Creating new pages easily

• This was added in patch-495 and will be available in MoinMoin 1.3.2

This is a macro and action that provides a dialog box and submit button to make it easy for new users to make new pages. NirSoffer rewrote it to use the Moin API, I patched it up a little, and it went into the Moin codebase. Other developers have also contributed at this point, and it's taken on a life of its own! See VitoMiliano/CreatingNewPagesEasily for the original details.

Twiki vs MoinMoin

I understand you have lot of experience with Twiki. Maybe you can write an interesting page about the differences, how and why you use each. -- NirSoffer 2005-04-27 10:36:09

Read-only Moin 1.9.x on AWS Lambda

After running Moin as a private group wiki for over fifteen years, I retired the instance. However, Moin's export story isn't great, and the custom markup format and macros risk some content being lost in translation. To reduce this risk, I repackaged my Moin data in a fresh, read-only instance on AWS Lambda, behind HTTP basic access authentication, using the same credentials the private group previously maintained. This supports inexpensive, private preservation of up to a 500MB wiki instance including all content and dependencies for as long as Amazon supports Python 2.7. See HowTo/AwsLambda for details.
