“That means that reverting a page requires either git access or cut and pasting.”

Actually, recent versions of ikiwiki have a revert UI on the RecentChanges page.

I agree that a wiki-type calendar, as opposed to the current blog-type calendar, would be a nice added feature.

My sister, who uses ikiwiki heavily, keeps nagging me about adding an email subscription thing for comments. Some day..

Thanks for the interesting ideas about using MoinMoin. Regarding your list of MoinMoin shortcomings: I wrote a modified AttachFile to give me more control over attachments – see rileylink.net/moin.cgi/DropBox.py. It would be an easy matter to likewise modify the code to move rather than delete files, then have the superuser confirm actual deletion. I guess, not storing deleted files is about not using too much storage. The file size limit could be easily done server-side, immediately deleting an upload that exceeded set limits either for a single upload or a per page total. I am not sure about doing this a client-side, but perhaps there is a way. I have not used other wikis, but I do like the ease of being able to customise MoinMoin. My struggle, being a shell account holder on a virtual server, but not the server owner, I find the instructions on how to get MoinMoin to receive mail difficult to apply. There doesn’t appear to be much advice available on this, but perhaps you could share more detail of what you did to get it all working.

Hi, thanks for your article. I came across it via Google when I was searching for how to configure my Desktop Edition of MoinMoin to receive emails. If you don’t mind, could you share what commands you used to configure your wikiconfig.py for email ? I tried MoinMoin’s Help on Configuration but it’s not working and I think I’m missing something. Thanks again, JS

I started to use MoinMoin desktop edition (OSX 10.4) as a way to look at my hard disk with the structure I need for my work and not in the hierarchic tree of unix. It works fine. However, what I want next is to click nouns on a page and launch applications such as my text editor (TexTWrangler), the TeX engine (TeXShop) and the Preview.app. My problem seems to be : how do I launch a shell command by clicking on a moinmoin formated page? I will appreciate any help on this.

You could also look into Gitit; although I don’t know if the calendar plugin http://gitit.golubovsky.org/Calendar/Example is what you need.

Thanks for this post. I’ve been using MoinMoin for years to do similar tasks and now I can’t live without it.

I have a general calendar like what you mentioned, then I have a Training calendar where I log workouts. I set up a template that has activity, time, intensity, etcetera in table format, and I jsut fill in the details.

Your task list seems useful and I’ll have to give it a try.
