Today I switched a small wiki from MoinMoin to a new Redmine setup. I couldn’t find any existing scripts to convert the wiki pages over. For a moment I thought I could do MoinMoin to Trac and Trac to Redmine but I thought better of it. It’d be a lot of work and the wiki syntax would probably be completely mangled in the process.

Instead I hacked up Carl Nygard’s MediaWiki to Redmine script. It’s an awful hack really but it worked for the pages I needed, and it does preserve revision history.

• Download the script: migrate_from_moinmoin.rake
• Edit the source and enter your own email address instead of admin@example.com.
• Place the file in lib/tasks/ in your Redmine installation.
• Run the command with

  rake redmine:migrate_from_moinmoin RAILS_ENV="production"

• Enter a project identifier.
• Enter an absolute path to the data/pages folder of your MoinMoin install.
