Product history
On July 20, 2000, developer Jürgen Hermann started the MoinMoin project on SourceForge, followed by the software's first stable release with version 0.2 on August 26.[2] A corresponding project was started the same day on Freshmeat (now Freecode).[1] Version 1.0 was released on May 10, 2002.[3]
In late 2007, MoinMoin was one of ten open-source projects selected for the 2007-2008 Google Highly Open Participation (GHOP) contest for high schoolers and secondary schoolers.[4][5]
In March 2012, MoinMoin's developers announced the project had been accepted as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2012.[6]
