If you like MediaWiki, just not the security model, you can install a second MediaWiki instance for the private pages. Call them www.yourwiki.com and secure.yourwiki.org, and lock down the latter using standard MediaWiki configuration variables. Centralize the access control using an LDAP solution and defining groups. Cross-link between them using interwiki links (a standard MediaWiki feature). Things get a little trickier with search -- you might need to install a third-party search engine, such as Lucene, and configure it to index both sites. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure how you'd deal with the secure pages showing up in the search results though; you might need to customize Lucene (a Java application). -- Dan Barrett [email protected] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
