Another free/libre open source software community I'm involved in migrated a fairly large corpus of content (10k+ pages) from MoinMoin to MediaWiki, mainly for access to more robust spam and abuse handling features. The effort was managed by a community member who was also a Wikipedia sysadmin on the WMF staff, and required a fair amount of cleanup after the fact, so not for the faint of heart. Granted, that was about a decade ago now; it's possible the tools for doing it have gotten smoother in the meantime. Having acted as a site admin and moderator on both, I can't say there's anything I miss from MoinMoin other than the fact that it's implemented in Python instead of PHP, which made modifying it or writing custom plugins for MoinMoin myself a little easier and less dicey. -- Jeremy Stanley
