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

Sent information to download off list.
(Probibly it would be ok to just put it somewhere public, but I am not 100% there is not some stuff like username/passwords or the like in it)

+1 to keeping it private unless someone has had a chance to scrub sensitive data.
