It is supposed to be automatic. I like moinmoin a lot. The new wiki
needs some getting used to so far, I made some pages (they can all be
deleted when we will start using it for real), and i find using
restructered text a pain. It is long-winding and complicated. Moin
stays out of your way, but maybe I'll get used to it. If I had a
choice, just freely, what i would like, i would stay with moin. If
there is no choice i will just learn using the new wiki.
