Fwd: Our download pages are in abysmal shape.
by Michael Foord Aug. 22, 2014

Aug. 22, 2014

See below for reports and issues with the download links and pages. I'm aware that github issues would be the "right" way to resolve this, but we're getting a *lot* of reports about broken download links. It ought to be addressed systematically rather than piecemeal.

Broken wiki search
by anatoly techtonik Aug. 15, 2014

Aug. 15, 2014

Hi, Wiki search seems broken. Searching full-text for "highscore" gives 0 results, but "highscores" gives 1. I assume that this might be a limitation of our search engine, but I may be wrong. Please advise, what is the current Moin search engine and what are alternatives? -- anatoly t.
