John, I applaud your efforts, and agree with everything you say! As a non-programmer, it's difficult at best to try and merge in diffs by hand. I agree that if a theme (or macro, or whatever) is going to be compatible with the latest version, to upload a new complete version, not a diff. Thanks

Hey David,I think the steps you outlined sounds reasonable. The only concern (which I'm sure you have covered) is to make sure that no one edits the wiki on machine 1 (so your pages get out of sync). No, you don't need to worry about upgrading from 1.5.7 to 1.5.9 first. -Rick On Sun, Dec 14,

Hey Peirre, Well, you have to understand that part of upgrading the code is doing away with the flawed design decisions that had become a royal headache to work around. For example, the code that handled spaces in links/URL's was a nightmare, and was seriously hampering development. At some point

Hey Waqas,How this works is that, before Apache even begins to process any python (Moin) requests, it first must pass the authentication rule. Once the user enters his domain\username & password, Apache then passes that to the SSPI module, which knows how to talk to a Windows Domain Controller. T

There are two ways to do this: 1. For the individual user, they can set this as a preference within their account settings. 2. Globally, you can set the preferred editor within the wikiconfig.py file ('text' or 'gui'). So, you essentially set the GUI editor as the default editor for anyone that
