Except that any other JSPWiki instance with XML-RPC turned on could
potentially have access to all that private information. I'd have to
put in a check to see that the source and target wikis were okay.
Probably not a bad feature for the plugin anyway.

Can't you control that through Apache .htaccess rules per-IP? That's what I do - I restrict connections only to certain IP addresses (or ranges) for security-critical services.

And yeah, the XML-RPC routines should mind the security/access control now, too, so adding an username/pwd combo to the transclude plugin might be a good idea as well.

Hmm. That sounds promising. I wouldn't return empty content but probably a default "no access" page. But wouldn't having two wiki instances (i.e., two WikiEngines) mean that there could be sync or overwrite problems? I
mean, even if the one wiki is read-only, it will still be edited at
times by the admin group. Oh, unless you mean that the public pages
also show up as pages on the private wiki. Hmm. Interesting idea...

Yes, exactly. All edits are done in the private wiki - but the public wiki only shows just a few, key, selected pages.

(The good thing being that if you shut down the other, the other still keeps running. So you can upgrade the private one without disrupting the public one.)
