SF still keeps using python 1.5.2, and we're still using python 2.2 that
somebody else compiled and installed in there (I don't know how!). But
good news is that SF announced a couple of days ago it will be upgrading
the hardware and software of the web servers in the immediate future. So
once this is done I'll upgrade MoinMoin and port my modifications.

In the meanwhile I'm trying to get the MoinMoin running in
freedesktop.org, as that would be usefull for integration with the
doxygen documentation, not to mention the machine sofware there is kept
reasonably up-to-date. I sent an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
requesting CGI support for projects, but no reply so far. Does anybody
know who's the person to contact for this kind of issues?

José Fonseca
