Yes, Moin 2 isn't really ready for widespread use. Some of us have been 
packaging it for Debian, which would then mean that it would be more available 
for Debian and Ubuntu users, and this would also hopefully mean that more 
people would be able to gain experience with it, improve it, and so on.

In my opinion, the current arrangement of having to make virtualenvs/venvs/
whatever and experiencing a very "fluid" situation with regard to 
dependencies, plus the lack of guidance and support, means that only the most 
dedicated developers might be interested in using Moin 2. And there probably 
aren't many of those dedicated developers any more.

Let us know what the errors are as you experience them. Maybe they are not so 
significant. Otherwise, Moin 1.9 is really your only option at the moment.
