Hi Dan, 1. There would be a number of ways to handle the geographic tag ... how many locales do you envision? Would you need to create new locales/locations on the fly? For example, I am near London, Ontario, which means my tag could be Port Stanley (my actual community), London (nearest major city), Southwestern Ontario (region), Ontario (state/province), or Canada (country). The narrower the scope of the tag, the harder it would be to find "nearby" articles.
2. Using AuthUser (http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/AuthUser), you can specify which "user group" a user belongs to and set site-wide, group or even page-level read and/or edit access for each group. 3. I have successfully used the Flash cookbook recipe (http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Flash) to allow users to embed YouTube videos with a one-line markup, for example. 4. PmWiki supports profile pages for authors out of the box (using ~AuthorName would create a link to Profiles.AuthorName, or you can specify a different target group in your config.php file). You can require the author name for each edit or (better yet) if they are logged in via AuthUser, you can set the author name automatically (http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/RequireAuthor). So, if my login name is Author1, then any edit I make will be attributed to Author1 as long as I am required to be authenticated to do so. You can use edit templates (http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/EditTemplates) which will provide a pre-populated edit field to use as a guideline when creating author (profile) pages, including code for a pagelist of all articles contributed by that author (for example), or you can use a more complex form-based option like Fox (http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Fox) to lock down the group and insure all profiles maintain the same content and layout.
