Trying to find information on Wikis is, to put it mildly, frustrating. This is a good reason why one should never actually use "wiki" in a url that is intended to be search engine friendly.
Anyway, I'm looking for a Wiki system that is designed from the beginning to have strong security and access controls. I have various internal research groups and want to be able to set up areas that they can collaboratively edit, but other groups normally cannot edit or even read their wiki. Some pages should be designated as readable to others. And in some cases, different groups may collaborate on a page or set of subpages. Of course I'd tie all this into CAS for authentication and LDAP for group information. Having the ability to easily upload media files (jpgs, small movies, etc) is also important. Does anyone know of anything that would fit the bill? MediaWiki does offer some of this, but access control is very manual (LocalSettings.php) and very coarse. Security and access control is not something that MediaWiki was designed to be, which is understandable given that it was built for wikipedia. There are a couple of Drupal-based options I'm looking at, but not sure just yet how well they support this kind of thing.
