My point as well (thanks for the detailed arguments, Ben). It is called "WikiWiki" as a general term, but a single site is called a "wiki". So I'd say the package moin contains the (one and only) MoinMoin generator moin.cgi, where "MoinMoin" is a derivative of "WikiWiki". > I don't see why the Debian package name should not follow this > convention (after all, officially, the package name would be MoinMoin, > not moinmoin). It is normal for Debian packages to have the lowercase of its official name, so _if_ the name of the program was MoinMoin then Luca in suggesting the Debian name to be moinmoin stands. - Jonas -- Feel free to quote me wherever.
