MediaWiki no more

I came to the realization that while MediaWiki worked, it was hideously industrial-strength for my purposes. Ditched it in favor of MoinMoin. MoinMoin has turned out both snappier (especially when I run it from a mac ;) ) and easier to customize/hack. There’s a handy conversion tool to port MediaWiki data to MoinMoin format, but it was a bit disappointing–crashy, memory-leaky, and most of the time didn’t get the syntax right. But it worked, at least.
