Dozens of organizations use MoinMoin to run public , including free software projects Ubuntu, Apache, Debian, FreeBSD.
MoinMoin supports CamelCase linking as well as free links (non-CamelCase linking). The CamelCase is activated by default and MoinMoin does not allow disabling CamelCase links except on a one-off basis. The workaround to do this is to use a different parser but this option does not work with the WYSIWYG editor.
MoinMoin also has extensive support for access control lists (ACL) that greatly increase its usability in a content management system (CMS). It also has GUI editing capabilities.
MoinMoin is able to either use a built-in search engine (rather slow, but no dependencies) or a Xapian-based indexed search engine (faster, and can also search old revisions and attached files).
MoinMoin also allows synchronization of contents from instance to instance via XML-RPC and therefore allows distributed offline editing.
The original MoinMoin "DesktopEdition" is significantly easier to use because it uses a built-in web server to display pages, requiring only Python to be installed on the host machine. Since version 1.6.0, the "DesktopEdition" has been integrated into the standard release. Also in this release a different markup syntax was introduced, which had not been changed much since the early releases.
