Well, I'm not sure how well moin-moin supports such things, but other wikis can require registration and apply ACLs to pages. It looks like moin-moin 1.3.4 supports such features; maybe an upgrade is in order? Requiring users to be approved before editing the wiki reduces the wikiness a bit, but still leaves it much more open and manageable than having no wiki at all. I'm really surprised that no wiki has yet implemented a call-back style authentication mechanism for granting access, such as mailman, tmda itself, or the old BBS callback verifiers used to use. It wouldn't *prevent* defacements, of course, but it would sure cut down on *anonymous* ones. -- Re-Interpreting Historic Miracles with SED #141: %s/water/wine/g _________________________________________________ tmda-workers mailing list ([email protected]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-workers
