RE: Welcome to public-wiki-dev@w3.org, Introduction

Glad to see we have a list now. Thanks!

I'm the chair of the DDWG, a group that has been using moinmoin for some
time but the group would much prefer to be using MediaWiki, and for that
reason I'm putting together some code to port a complete moinmoin wiki
to MediaWiki, including all the revisions and attachments, while
hopefully retaining the URLs (or something close enough to map
automatically). I intend to have something to show in about a week, once
I get a few rather urgent tasks off my desk.

I've just asked for this new mailing list to be created and took the
liberty of subscribing you.

The stated purpose of this list:

     This list is for talking about the development (installation,
     configuration, customization, and extension) of wikis at W3C for
     W3C groups, including wiki-related tools. Administrative requests
     (eg for a new wiki) and such should still go to sysreq@w3.org. 

         -- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wiki-dev/

Perhaps we can each say a few words about who we are and what we have in
mind here....

I'll start:

I'm the staff contact for the RIF and OWL Working Groups.  RIF's been
using MoinMoin heavily for two years now [1], including generating its
TRs out of the wiki, using wiki-tr [2], which I wrote.  OWL has just
started, and plans to do the same, but since it's new it was able to
just use MediaWiki [3].   With Alan Ruttenberg's help I think the setup
is pretty good.   See the scribe-output in the wiki [4], although that
process is not fully automated at this point.

I got involved with Wikis as we were installing MoinMoin, back in 2003,
and did a lot of work with it for a few months before I lost interest
[5].  I'm currently pretty excited about MediaWiki.
