===== Introduction =====

Here are things you need to know about [[http://www.FreeBSD.org|FreeBSD]]'s wiki.  Please get in touch if you have questions, ideas or need help with [[Wiki/Contributing|wiki contribution]], content or [[Wiki/Guidelines|editing guidelines]].

===== Things Administrators Need To Know =====

==== Access Control Lists ====

Two main ACLs exist, modulo more specific ACLs for team or specifric project purposes; [[/ContributorsGroup|ContributorsGroup]] and [[/DevelopersGroup|DevelopersGroup]].

  * [[/ContributorsGroup|ContributorsGroup]] provides write access to most pages, except for a few important pages, such as the [[/FrontPage|FrontPage]], cannot edit Group pages, nor add #acl keywords.
  * [[/DevelopersGroup|DevelopersGroup]] provides access to most/all pages, except for those pages with more restrictive / additional ACLs, and can add #acl keywords.

==== MoinMoin ====

The wiki is implemented using the [[Wiki/About/MoinMoin]] platform.

==== MoinMoin Modifications ====

The following modifications have been made to the standard moinmoin installation.  These are added here mainly as a help to the admin in case of future upgrade...

=== More country flags ===

As suggested by [[/SergeyMatveychuk|SergeyMatveychuk]], a bunch of country flags have been added. See the [[/HelpOnSmileys|HelpOnSmileys]] for information on how to use the flags in the wiki.

The flags came from [[https://www.maxmind.com|MaxMind]] and are used here with permission.  :!: TODO as of 20231011, the [[https://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/flag.zip|previous download location]] of the flag database is no longer available.  It may simply be that one needs a login now.

The following (very elegant!) perl oneliner was used to convert to moinmoin config format:

<code>
ls *.gif | perl -ne 'chomp; /(.*)\.gif/; print "    \"{flag-$1}\":  (18, 12, 1, \"flags/$1.gif\"),\n";'
</code>
