Ask HN: Self-hosted lightweight wiki engine suggestions? (MoinMoin alternative)

I can't offer an alternative, but given that you used MoinMoin for years, you could also look into porting MoinMoin to python 3? Most likely you will learn enough about its codebase to add the features you wanted in 2018.

If the upstream project is dying, you might not only do yourself but others a favor by reviving its codebase.

Porting MoinMoin 1.x to Python 3.x would be a major hurdle especially since MoinMoin is very complex and has lots of advanced features (from supporting multiple syntaxes to API and even master-master replication). (On the bright side, by default it doesn't seem to have many dependencies, thus at least in that regard it would be easier.)

Therefore if I were to invest development time into a wiki engine, I would definitively go with a simpler Rust / Go based implementation from scratch.

In fact this is another reason why I'm looking for alternatives, namely I want a "simpler" wiki.
