MediaWiki can easily be adapted to authenticate to eg IMAP or LDAP (I have an internal MediaWiki setup with IMAP-only authentication). So that ain't a problem.
But a Wiki has some drawbacks: * Structure: I haven't seen much Wiki's (which are user editable) that have a very tight structure. Everybody can add/edit/remove stuff, or you have to protect a lot of pages. Not really what we want I guess. * Content: sure you can post anything on a Wiki, but as we speak about "guides 4 n00bs" and "custom *Cmd's", you need file uploads. Not a real problem, but a Wiki is not the best thing to use for it. So I'm more thinking about a Joomla based site. Joomla has lots of Extensions that can provide structured functionality. Sure it needs a good basic setup, but once that is done, the info stays in that structure. As last note: a login based system is always needed if you want to put info online by users. -- Toni Van Remortel, MSc Linux System Engineer @ Precision Operations NV +32 3 452 92 26 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
