MoinMoin

Advanced, easy-to-use, and extensible wiki engine for collaboration on editable webpages

Visit MoinMoin

MoinMoin is a free, GPL-licensed wiki engine maintained by a community of contributors. It is designed for collaboration through easily editable web pages, allowing teams and communities to create and share content in a wiki format. The project provides documentation, support options, a bug tracker, feature request tracking, and an extensions system.

Key capabilities include extensibility through extensions and patches, access control lists for managing permissions, and anti-spam measures such as restricted account creation and group-based write permissions. The project is developed on GitHub, with version 1.9.x and 2.0 branches; a first alpha release of MoinMoin 2.0 was published in March 2024. Support is available through free and paid options, and the project accepts donations and bounties for feature development. MoinMoin is packaged as free software, with no paid editions or usage-based pricing described.
