MoinMoin

MoinMoin

MoinMoin is an advanced, easy to use and extensible wiki engine implemented in Python.

It can fulfill a wide range of roles, such as a personal notes organizer deployed on a laptop or home web server, a company knowledge base deployed on an intranet, or an Internet server open to individuals sharing the same interests, goals or projects.

A number of organizations use MoinMoin to run public wikis, including notable free software projects Ubuntu, Apache, Debian, FreeBSD, and others.

MoinMoin's storage mechanism is based on flat files and folders, rather than a database.
