Hi Bill
If you are considering creating table relationships with auth.wiki, I
think you should design and implement your own ideas. In the end you will
not have spent any more time, but the difference is that you will
thoroughly understand all your own code and be able to fix and extend it
with new features. I mean you shouldn't be compromising your design to
accommodate auth.wiki, for that would be the wrong way around..
Kind regards, D
