MoinMoin is a wiki software that enables users from all over the world to collaborate, using just their browser.
That way you can work together very efficiently. To be even more efficient for its users, MoinMoin allows attaching files like images or zip-files. The way these files are currently stored is not that good. Thus, we aim to provide a powerful abstraction layer to store data efficiently using different backends. The work on this storage backend has already begun. We now want to improve it and its documentation and add another backend (and enable others to add further backends). The code needs general improvements to make it useful. Currently there are some flaws in the design that need to be ironed as well. When this has been accomplished you can select which backend you like, without altering the way you access your data. This will allow storage items to be available in different revisions, too. |
