Nah. I have yet to see a wiki do any checks on input. They're just very lenient on output. And there isn't any problem with poor integrity with writing straight to SVN. SubWiki depends upon a commit hook to index pages. No matter how you make a change (whether thru the interface, via SVN, or via WebDAV) the hook will run and the page will be indexed. Dunno how SVNWiki does it, but I know SubWiki is safe for multiple avenues of changing it. By design :-) Regarding its status: it is still being developed, albeit a bit slowly. It recognizes all the MoinMoin wiki syntax except for tables. It does not have all of the macros. It has some very basic authentication and authorization stuff -- I'm mid-process on adding cookie-based auth to the system.
