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

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

The wiki is implemented using the MoinMoin platform.

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…

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

The flags came from MaxMind and are used here with permission. TODO as of 20231011, the 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:

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