It would take a lot of work to go from a code snippet that's out there to a fully polished CMS... > I'm glad to hear that no one is even reading my emails anymore.

Wikis don't have a way to build a hierarchy of pages, move branches around, etc. I realize that MoinMoin does have categories, but I don't know that they're hierarchical, and AFAIK there's no way to turn them into a nice little sidebar with an expandable tree. These basic navigation things may sound stupid, but they're important to web site usability. drupal's taxonomies are All That(tm when it comes to keeping pages categorized and organized. Then using a drupal module, you can add a block on the sidebar that displays your current location in the hierarchy of that taxonomy, and your potential navigation destinations.
