Although the password protection of pmWiki is considered save (see a previous discussion on this forum), in this case I advised not to expose our wiki on the internet. There is private data of pupils in it, and if a clever hacker finds a leak, it is all too embarrassing for the school. I have set up a firewall with some exceptions to IP-addresses of some teachers. They can add content from their homes now. If you have a public part of the wiki, you can set up a Wiki Farm (see the cookbook how to do that). This second wiki you could even set up as a CMS, so that it looks like a 'real' website. (In our country there is no way for a private person to link an ip-address to a person or his home-address) Good luck, Daniel _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
