How to use MoinMoin
Introduction
Without the Wiki software it would be very hard to have more than one person working on the pages (simultaneously or not).
To be able to collaborate, one needs an easy way to see who changed what, and when.
For example, this is how I was able to see that the "Biosequence Manipulations" section was recently changed on High-Throughtput Computing Manual.
I did this by:
- Going to the page
- Clicking on the "Info" button
- Selecting radio button of the revision that started your series of edits
- Clicking Diff

MoinMoin is a Python WikiClone, based on PikiPiki. The name is a common German slang expression (see MoinMoinEtymology for more about that). If you run a Wiki using MoinMoin, please add it to the MoinMoinWikis page. Contributed code is on the MacroMarket, ActionMarket and ParserMarket pages.
