I should have guessed that the paste wouldn't last. Sorry about that!
Here's another book to go along with that first one:

<book2>

==========

INSTALL MOINMOIN:

1) Go to this page in the Ubuntu wiki to check which version of MoinMoin it uses:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SystemInfo

2) Make sure you have Python installed (this should be installed by default in Ubuntu, but you can check the package manager for the python package and install it if it isn't).

3) Download the MoinMoin distribution archive from here:

http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinDownload

Note that the download link will be for the current version. To get a
specific version other than that one, copy that link into a text
file, edit the version it points to, and paste the edited link into
your browser, or try to find it in the old Moin releases link at the
bottom of the page.

4) Unpack the archive. It will extract to a moin-x.x.x directory (with x.x.x being the version number). Put this directory wherever you'd like to keep the wiki. 

==========

USE MOINMOIN:

1) Run the server by opening a terminal window in the moin-x.x.x directory, and typing:

./wikiserver.py

Or use a file manager to right-click on wikiserver.py in the moin-x.x.x directory. Then select Python to run it with.

Or (preferred method) create a shortcut with this as the command (replacing PATH with the path to your moin-x.x.x directory and x.x.x with the MoinMoin version number):

python /PATH/moin-x.x.x/wikiserver.py &

2) Visit http://localhost:8080/ with your browser to use your wiki.

3) When finished using your wiki, terminate the server with any one of these methods:
 - Open the process table (by pressing the Ctrl and Esc keys in
   Kubuntu - is it the same in Ubuntu?) and kill the second (or last)
   Python process in the list.
 - If you launched the server from a terminal window, close the
   terminal window or open that terminal window and press the Ctrl
   and c keys at the same time.
 - Open a terminal window and do this twice: type pkill python and
   press the Enter key. NOTE: This method is not recommended if you
   have other uses for Python on your system. The python process will
   be restarted as soon as you run any Python program, but if you
   have another Python application running when you use this method,
   its process will be killed, and you may not want that. (:

==========

CONFIGURE MOINMOIN:

- The HelpOnConfiguration page in the wiki lists the configuration
  options that you can use in the wikiconfig.py file in the top-level
  directory of your wiki.
- You might want to look at the sample config in the wiki/config/
  directory.
- The HelpOnInstalling/StandaloneServer page in the wiki might also
  be helpful.
