Developer Introduction

MoinMoin Developers,

My name is Rashad Tatum. John Sullivan recently contacted me and requested that I introduce myself to the MoinMoin community. I am currently a senior student at Southern Polytechnic State University studying Computer Science and Mathematics. I have expressed interest in helping with the MoinMoin project. I am particularly interested in helping convert wiki pages to MoinMoin.

Please let me know how I may help.

Thanks,

Rashad

You mean from confluence wiki to moin wiki?

Regarding the confluence-to-moin stuff, I must admit that I am not
really up-to-date with it / with its current state.

But maybe just join us on #moin-dev IRC channel, there is always lots to
do to improve things. :)

Cheers,

Thomas

Thomas already replied and wondered whether the Wiki conversion you're 
thinking of has something to do with the Confluence converter:

http://moinmo.in/ConfluenceConverter

As I noted in a message sent to the mailing list for that project...

http://lists.bjdean.id.au/pipermail/mmwiki/2012q2/000092.html

...I've written some code that produces a basic Moin conversion of a 
Confluence Wiki (links, headings, lists, parsed regions) but still needs to 
support user profile migration and more advanced syntax. See this plain 
non-https link for details:

http://hgweb.boddie.org.uk/ConfluenceConverter/

Currently, the effort seems to be stalled, partly because I haven't had time 
to work on it, and partly because there doesn't seem to be much activity 
around the project in general. If you want to lend a hand, you could download 
the necessary code (see above) and the data...

https://gitorious.org/confluence2moinmoin/main/trees/master/data/import/20110621

...and then see if you can generate the page packages. Doing conversion 
round-trips can be tedious (setup a Wiki, import the pages, verify the 
content, repeat...), and I recommend moinsetup if you're not completely 
familiar with Moin (see the README.txt file for details).

Feel free to contact me or the mmwiki list if this is what you're interested 
in working on:

Sorry to everyone who isn't interested in migrating Confluence Wiki data to 
Moin!

Paul
