Reading my last mail again, I see that it was not very well written. Sorry for eventual offence caused. Just to avoid misunderstandings: I don't expect anyone to add this functionality just for me. I think it would be useful also for others, and in the past I had the impression that I'm not the only one considering it useful. As I wrote, I do _not_ expect this to be a core component - I agree with you that it should be a recipe. But it shouldn't be done by a PHP newbie without support from others. Someone capable has to take care if the interface changes. BTW: I already published a piece of code (reverse DNS auth) in this list hoping that someone could have a look at it because I didn't know whether I got the integration with PmWiki right. Maybe it wasn't worth the look. Since it's not essential for the operation, I (or my successor) could disable it if problems arise some day. A new page store class is another dimension. I wouldn't take responsibility for it.
