Ivo-
You only get ugly hacks if you don't think about
your code before
implementing something.
True. Go ahead, do a rewrite and show us how much better you can do with
text files. Or if you don't want to do that yet, try loading all of the
English Wikipedia (CUR and OLD) into MoinMoin and then try to mirror
MediaWiki's functionality in MoinMoin.
Really, this is not the place for philosophical discussions. Show us the
code, please.

Erik
