Does anyone know how to migrate a moin moin wiki to mediawiki.

There's a page on
mediawiki.org that's
collected some scripts, links
and other information on how to convert a Moin Moin wiki; if you
haven't looked at it yet, it may be a useful starting point:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MoinMoin
Yeah, I wrote that page after doing precisely one migration - it's
definitely only a starting point. The problem is that anyone doing a
migration does it *once*, so it's not the sort of project where
knowledge builds up.
So, Malka will hopefully be able to add to the knowledge listed there,
after doing it the hard way ;-) The Linux Foundation script looks like
the least-unpromising start for now, if you can add to and extend that
and put the results on
mediawiki.org ...
