Just point your browser to

  http://dri.sf.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/FelixKuehling

and chose the HomepageTemplate. This works the same for any new page.

I'm aware of these issues. But when faced with the decision where I
want to spend my time I inevitably choose the path of "I'd rather have
more superfluous hyperlynks than lack of hyperlinks". 
So I'll keep adding more documentation, and automatic hyperlinks to
soup. ONLY when I'm out of stuff to add, is that I'll start trimming
down the redundant stuff. 

Patches are, nevertheless, always welcome.
(The MoinMoin Wiki implementation is very easy to understand and extend
for anybody minimally familiar with Python). BTW, the 'in' stuff is as
easy as deleting the corresponding line from
/home/d/dr/dri/wiki/tags/mesa, or filter this file agains a english
dictionary. The AutoWikiFromName isnot very dificult to remove: I
already have extended MoinMoin to recognize names as they are on the
filenames, instead of the AnnoyingLimitatingWikiStuff... But as I said
above, first what comes first.  Without content nobody will even
care about those annoyances - nobody will read at all!

I confess that my only real concern with the abundance of links that 
the searchbots will
create so much traffik, plus the slowness of MoinMoin, will lead to an
super slow web server, the consequently an unfriendly note from the SourceForge 
crew... So I may have to care about the performance before that.
