freedesktop.org (MoinMoin) • freedesktop.org (ikiwiki) more to add

freedesktop.org is open source / open discussion software projects working on interoperability and shared technology for X Window System desktops. The most famous X desktops are GNOME and KDE, but developers working on any Linux / Unix GUI technology are welcome to participate.

freedesktop.org itself is host to numerous other wikis (all originally using MoinMoin, but from May 2013, all freedesktop.org wiki sites have since converted to ikiwiki) for various sub-projects, including:

Moving from MoinMoin to ikiwiki in 2013
Web services status

We figured out that freedesktop.org was hosting about 500000 wiki pages full of spam. We've 'despammed' the wikis by moving any page with 'http' in the contents out of the way. Secondarily, we've eliminated the ability to login to the wiki as our attempts to disable account creation have never worked correctly.

We want to move from a web-based wiki to a git-based wiki, the plan is to use ikiwiki for this. We won't have any cgi-based editing, the only way to get changes into a wiki will be to push changes to a git repository which will have a hook to rebuild the visible version.

In the meantime, you can recover pages that were accidentally removed by using the 'mv-page' script in /srv on annarchy.freedesktop.org. Anyone in the group associated with the wiki should be able to recover pages. I think the script is pretty safe, but please be careful.

And, if you're clever, you can update wiki pages by manually constructing them in the moin/data/pages directories (that's how this page was edited).
