MoinMap is some haxoring on a MoinMoin macro that allows the embedding of maps into a moin wiki. The architecture is completely fubared right now and is not too easily extensible but serves a few purposes.

The following is a call to MoinMap with 'address' '2052.SE.Morrison.St.Portland.OR.97214' arguments.

MoinMap('address','2052.SE.Morrison.St.Portland.OR.97214')

The following is a MoinMap of the PTP node number 351 (well, it used to be called 351, now it's 113).

MoinMap('ptpnode','nodeid','351')

Of course this only works for P-town at the moment as the database driving this takes a fair amount of room and time corraling TIGERs.

In addition to the Python code linking Moin and Mapscript there is a logic layer exposed via a set of xml-rpc calls residing on the same server that do geocoding, node location, etc.
