Amid the sudden general excitement which follows Patrick's "return", and echoing something that Oliver Betz just wrote on the list[1], I wanted to share a point that I guess would be worth a thought. Pmwiki security access system is good, practical and flexible, too. Nevertheless it lacks a simple, official way to let people register, have their email verified, setup a password, have their password reset/emailed in case it gets forgotten.[2] What if AuthUser is expanded to also include this feature? Such a "tool" would open many doors to a wider pmwiki adoption in many areas.

With PmWiki, it's rather hard to solve for the beginner." [2] Some recipes exist, yet far from what I would feel at ease to setup and adopt. _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
