For $DAY_JOB, I maintain many bits of infra, including a mediawiki install... We have a plug-in installed for locking down sections of the wiki, but I’ve yet to see a plug-in with an ACL-like system using MediaWiki’s framework for “You can edit, and you cannot”. Mind, we DO require login to edit at this point, but that’s all really. The only main F/OSS wiki engines that actually do have something resembling a feature like this is Kwiki, a plug-in based wiki written in Perl, from what I recall. I also seem to remember that it has a slightly different wiki-text markup... -- Gary L. Greene, Jr. No spitting on the Bus! Thank you, The Mgt.
