[Moin-user] will moin-moin be adapted to my needs? (corporate wiki)

[Fred Haynes]

Yusuf,

wouldn't this ACL configuration fail unless all users were given admin
rights by default?  I have tried this configuration and I get an error
stating that I don't have permission to change the ACLs for the new
page (presumably, from default settings to the template's settings).
