At the moment, POSTs are disabled on the test version in order
to prevent any possibility of corruption of the live data. I
also have complete backups.
First observations:
Recent changes appears to be compatible with MoinMoin 1.0.
UserPreferences is not picking up the old logins. (This
also implies that for the moment, you get the default CSS)
The problem in the RSS feed where MoinMoin gets the timezone
offset wrong that was present in 1.0 is still present in
1.2.1. Perhaps this time I will submit a patch.
I haven't done much more than installing and editing the
moin_config file. If you see anything amiss, please leave a
comment.
FWIW, I’ve been using 1.2.1 for about two weeks; it’s much better than 1.0. I especially like the modular templating — makes it much easier to customise — and the ability to leverage HTTP authentication (although it doesn’t like Digest auth, for some reason; must file a bug). Great software!
At work I have been using wakkawiki. It also has the ACL page features, uses MySQL as a store, and is PHP based. The wiki formatting rules are some different. Somewhere I thought you said you where looking for a PHP based wiki. Give it a look.
