[moin-user] Announce: Moin2Tiki, MoinMoin to Tiki migration tool

[Volker Wysk]

Tired of MoinMoin? Migrate to Tiki!

I've written a MoinMoin to Tiki migration tool, called "Moin2Tiki". It lets
you migrate your MoinMoin wiki to the Tiki wiki engine. It reads the
MoinMoin pages, converts them to Tiki markup and feeds them to a Tiki
server. Moin2Tiki comes with an AppImage of the program. This means that you
don't need to compile it yourself. See the Quick Start Guide for details
[5].

Why have I switched to Tiki? There are a couple of things I don't like about
MoinMoin. There also are some features I want, which aren't available there.
You can see a list at [6].

Please note that Tiki is much larger, with much more features and thus more
complicated than MoinMoin. Especially if you use MoinMoin just as a desktop
wiki. It takes some effort to install and configure it. But it's also highly
configurable. If you only use the wiki part, it isn't that complicated. See
[4]. I'm using Tiki as a desktop wiki myself.

See Tiki for Smarties [3] for installation and configuration instructions.

Moin2Tiki doesn't support all of MoinMoin. So far, there are some
limitations, some serious. For instance, only one user is supported. And it
won't be possible to write a program that migrates all of MoinMoin's macros
and parsers. But I might be willing to improve Moin2Tiki, if there is any
interest. Please see [4].

For more information on Tiki, see the Tiki homepage [1].

The homepage of Moin2Tiki is at [2].

Cheers,
Volker
