-A MoinMoin and TWiki converter, which was originally written by [[JoshTriplett]] converts those wikis to ikiwikis backed by a git repository, including full history. It uses two techniques for conversion:
+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.
- * for MoinMoin, it parses the wiki pages into markdown using the MoinMoin engine
- * for Tikiwiki, it parses the wiki pages to HTML then back into markdown using the `libhtml-wikiconverter` Perl package
+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).
The MoinMoin side of things was completely re-written by [[anarcat]] and is currently still in development. That version is available at:
git clone git://src.anarcat.ath.cx/moin2iki
-The original version from Josh is still available from [his wiki page](/users/JoshTriplett). [[anarcat]] will probably remove support from Tikiwiki eventually, as those two projects are really different...
+It doesn't feature support to migrate from Tikiwiki anymore and focuses on MoinMoin support.

-The MoinMoin part is made of two main pieces:
+The software is made of two pieces:
* 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
## MoinMoin converter features
-
* lots of macros are not translated
* a bunch of markup and exotic uses of parsers will probably fail?
