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

We try to make it even better in 1.4. :)

I see you have already got some answers concerning ACLs, so just my 
additions:

> /Public/PublicDocument1   -> rw access for everybody
> /Public/PublicDocument2   -> rw access for everybody

As long as we don't have hierarchical ACLs or sub wikis, you don't have 
an advantage by making such more or less "deep" structures - in 
contrary, toplevel pages are linked easier...

In any way, please don't put them on a public wiki as cleartext, not 
even with ACL protection. :)

We try to avoid ACL bugs, but you know: shit happens...

And as long you do it via http:, wiki pages go as cleartext across the 
net. On the file system, they are also stored as cleartext.

Idea sounds nice. If you could do some python code for making that easy 
usable AND secure, I am sure that quite some people could use that.
