This MoinMoin converter converts wikis to ikiwikis backed by a git repository, including full history. It simply parses the wiki pages into markdown using the MoinMoin engine.
The converter was originally written by [[JoshTriplett]] and included support for Tikiwiki, for which it parses the wiki pages to HTML then back into markdown using the `libhtml-wikiconverter` Perl package. That original version from Josh is still available from [his wiki page](/users/JoshTriplett).
It doesn't feature support to migrate from Tikiwiki anymore and focuses on MoinMoin support.

-The software is made of two pieces:
+## Usage
- * the importer (`moin2git`) - which converts the wiki pages into a git repository with full history
- * the converter (`moin2mdwn`) - which converts a set of moin-formatted text files into markdown + ikiwiki directives
+Usage instructions are in the `README` file.
## MoinMoin importer features
* FullSearch, partially, only through [[ikiwiki/directive/inline]] (so no textual search)
* Include, partially through [[ikiwiki/directive/inline]] (so missing boundary extraction and heading level generation)
* PageCount, same name even :)
- * OrphanedPages, through [[ikiwiki/directive/oprhans]]
+ * OrphanedPages, through [[ikiwiki/directive/orphans]]
* Date and Datetime, should be through [[plugins/date]] instead of
current hack
* the main "moin wiki" markup
* highlight parser, through the [[plugins/format]] plugin
- * other parsers may be supported if an equivalent plugin exists in Ikiwiki (example: [[plugin/rst]])
