# Wiki (MoinMoin) Migration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moin is our wiki, which hosts user-editable documentation.
|
|
|
|
We've been using it since [September 2004](https://wiki.wireshark.org/FrontPage?action=recall&rev=1).

## Status

## Details
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MoinMoin has its own markup language that predates Markdown, which is what GitLab uses.
|
|
|
|
It looks like the most viable path would be to dump the wiki as HTML, then convert that to Markdown.

|
|
|
If we're concerned about preserving our history we might be able to migrate it to a git repository, then convert the markup: https://github.com/mgaitan/moin2git

|
|
|
|
|
We run MoinMoin 1.9, but 2.0 supports [exporting to MarkDown](https://github.com/moinwiki/moin/commit/5edfbc2a3e3a8720fad8b2158d67133c2e7b6393#diff-42217d84820d3bab44de675d13077ae9).
|
|
|
|
Perhaps we could upgrade a copy of our current wiki to Moin 2.0, and then export? |
