I found MoinMoin to be a bit of a nuisance to set up. Do we have root access on
lug.org.uk to install MoinMoin? I've set it up on my box without root access so
that I know how that's done if need be, but root access means much less
pointling to make the CGI script find the MoinMoin packages.
Actually transferring the pages is remarkably easy; the script to do so runs to
125 lines of Python so far but the wiki syntax fixup isn't finished. I found an
article on MusicBrainz that describes the issues they ran into while migrating
from UseMod to MoinMoin:

I assume that since you didn't send me the 'keep' tree we don't mind too much
about the revision history?
