MoinMoin, created in Germany by Jürgen Hermann and Thomas Waldmann, is an extensible wiki engine written in Python, originally cloned or forked from PikiPiki. First released 29 July 2000, it uses only a text file-based data store (and does not support any of the SQL, Oracle, or other database protocols). MoinMoin supported syntax includes CamelCase, free links and backlinks, and also utilises interwiki and access control lists (ACLs). MoinMoin is open source software, and is released for free (also known as FOSS, or 'Free and Open Source Software') under the GNU General Public License, version 2 (GPLv2).[1]

The main 'meta' wiki site article page here on WikiIndex for MoinMoin is: MoinMoin wiki. It has a large community of users. However, criticism of MoinMoin by Cliff Wells includes its high memory consumption ("hundreds of megabytes", compared to less than 100 Mb by MediaWiki) and cumbersome navigation. Similar criticism states that MoinMoin "is an overly complex package and was very difficult to maintain, upgrade, and – as it happened – restore from backup". It will also be noticed that when using the in-built themes or skins, MoinMoin is not as graphically 'pleasing' as some other wiki engines, though this can be addressed by way of the many available custom skins. Notable limitations of MoinMoin is that does not support namespaces, nor any type of structured data.

MoinMoin etymology

The MoinMoin wiki engine software was conceived and created in Germany, and the word 'moin' is a common, if slightly informal German word. American translations for moin state it literally means 'hello', and their literal translation for MoinMoin is 'Good Morning'.[2] However, from a Germanic mother tongue, those are not entirely correct. Whilst 'moin' is typically used as a spoken greeting, different regions of Germany, along with other Germanic speaking nations, all have different variations of the German language. In Frisian, moin means 'good', as in 'good day', and MoinMoin is an extended emphasis, typically meaning 'a very good day to you'. A typical Irish literation for MoinMoin would be 'top of the morning'. Franconian, a form of middle German from the Rhur region (and commonly spoken in Luxembourg), moin means 'hello'. Moin is not common-place in Prussian German, the local dialect in Berlin, and the former communist East German lander (states). Moin is also not common-place in southern German states. To attempt to pin-point exactly where moin originates from – it could best be described as coming from low-land German states, in the north-west of the country, along with potential origins from Benelux and even southern Scandinavia.[3] So as clear as mud, eh!
