Disclaimer, I am neither using Moinmoin nor Mediawiki, and don't really have your answer. >From what I read, Mediawiki stores each page as "wikitext" in a MySQL >database; wikitext "is a mixture of content, markup, and metadata." It seems essentially what you'd need for migration is a mapping function and I do not know how complex the mapping between the systems would be. I could imagine migrating from Moinmoin to Mediawiki via a script looping through the Moinmoin files in a directory, modifying a copy of each, and storing them in MySQL. I suspect it's less painful to just start with the wiki you want to end up with, but if you're going to migrate between the two, won't Python come in handy! ;-) Eric Pederson http://www.songzilla.blogspot.com ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: domainNot="@something.com" domainIs=domainNot.replace("s","z") ePrefix="".join([chr(ord(x)+1) for x in "do"]) mailMeAt=ePrefix+domainIs ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
