Authorization and user management will be needed, too. But optional and discouraged in the spirit of wikis.
I tend to run all of my web services behind an apache front-end; by policy, apache is the only HTTP server I ever expose directly to the Internet. So authorization isn't a big thing for me. Any access control I need to implement can be done at the apache level. What's more important for me is that config file; I'd really like to have things like *wiki-directory* and *wiki-template-directory* in a plain text file somewhere; that'd make integration with apache much easier. I think that what initially attracted me to cl-wiki was its simplicity; I liked the fact that I could read all of the source code and easily understand what each piece did, and how to extend it, should the need arise. I think that, whatever new features get added to it, we should try to preserve that kind of simplicity. Regards, Ian Clelland <clelland@gmail.com>
