Moin supports groups and access controls by group. Management of these
is different from Confluence, but I think it can map reasonably well.

Moin can handle this.

I think it will be possible to port the existing usernames, and as long
as we have email addresses for them, they can do a password reset.

There is an issue in that Moin likes CamelCase UserNames. It's not a
requirement, but without it, the username doesn't link to the user's
home page. User home pages are not required, but they can be handy.

I don't know if it's relevant at this point since we've already decided
on Moin, but if anyone wants to look at or even play with a small Moin
wiki, go to <http://www.grizz.org/wiki/>, and if you have any questions
after looking/playing, ask me. It's OK to add pages to this wiki, but I
will probably delete them after a short time.

I don't have anything at the moment beyond what's above.
