For those not only wishing that others made that happen, but consider scratching that particular itch themselves, I am happy to chat with you more detailed about what that involves, and how it is a quite exciting challenge - so exciting, in fact, that Debian has had several attempts at doing a migration over the years, but none so far have succeeded. I don't say this to scare you off, but to make you aware that it is not because Debianites love the archane MoinMoin wiki, but because it is challenging to migrate away from it. I originally packaged the MoinMoin wiki engine many years ago, before Ubuntu existed. Then git was invented, and Ikiwiki. Some has tried to migrate to Ikiwiki, some has tried to migrate to Mediawiki. Personally, I would today migrate to zola, but you (i.e. those wanting to roll up your sleeves and actually do this migration task) no doubt have your own opinion on which should be the goal and why that is ideal. Regardless of the goal, some of the preparations to get there is likely similar to those previous attempts, where I and others might have input from those previous attempts. If you think you have a novel new approach then I would love to learn about it, as I still run a few legacy wikis that I would like to migrate. But let's not hijack any further this thread about welcoming newcomers, I just wanted to chime in to encourage anyone wanting to do the wiki modernization to get in touch with me to discuss further.
