+1 on getting moin updated to current.  It's going to be much less work
in the long run than converting everything over to mediawiki or similar.

Yes, but unnecessary to resort to API for this.  moin-1.6 and newer all
have functionality via 'macros' (plugins, mostly) to pull in remote
content and have it rendered by the moin rendering engine and then
displayed in-line.  Your work-flow could produce an artifact that is
raw wiki-formatted text and then wiki.c.o could consume that content
automatically.  Keeping that content up-to-date would then be the
responsibility of the work-flow pipeline itself.
