How about adding ACL? So that you can control which users are allowed
|
|
|
|
|
to read, write certain pages. The moinmoin wiki has that, and it is
|
|
|
|
|
something, that I think is very valuable.

I am considering giving this a try, implementing it as a module.
|
|
|
|
|
Here is how I see it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* a new preprocessor directive allows to define ACL entries providing permissions
|
|
|
|
|
for a given (user, page, operation), as in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
\[[acl user=joe page=*.png allow=upload]]
|
|
|
|
|
\[[acl user=bob page=/blog/bob/* allow=*]]
|
|
|
|
|
\[[acl user=* page=/blog/bob/* deny=*]]
|
|
|
|
|
\[[acl user=http://jeremie.koenig.myopenid.com/ page=/todo/* deny=create
|
|
|
|
|
reason="spends his time writing todo items instead of source code"]]
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each would expand to a description of the resulting rule.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* a configurable page of the wiki would be used as an ACL list.
|
|
|
|
|
Possibly could refer to other ACL pages, as in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
\[[acl user=* page=/subsite/* acl=/subsite/acl.mdwn]]
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
