This is a long shot, I know. When we converted to MediaWiki from MoinMoin in
2008, pages were imported, but history was lost. I often like to go
spelunking in the past, and it's often frustrating to hit this barrier.
As I recall, MoinMoin stored everything in flat files, so it wouldn't even
really need to be stood up again to get a look at the history. If someone
happened to keep it, that is. Is there any chance we have a tarball snapshot
of the wiki circa 2008?
You are probably going to have to ask Mike McGrath if he kept any copies.. that is before I got here and the tapes from that time are shredded. I will see if I can find anything
