This not only points users to our site from yours, it also increases HCoop's search engine rankings and makes it easier for people to find. HCoop's Alexa traffic rankings have gone from 4,000,000 to 900,000 in the last three months alone. If we can continue that trend we are on the right track.

=== MoinMoin default footer ===

As you can see below, the default footer for MoinMoin wikis hosted by HCoop contains:
 * !MoinMoin Powered
 * Python Powered
 * GPL licensed
 * Valid HTML 4.01

All of which are appropriately linked. Why not add a link to HCoop?
 * Hosted by HCoop

I'd also like to add my registrar (gandi.net), but that's going to be different for everyone, and therfore more complicated.
