We are trying to setup a wiki for collaboration and
need some advice.
Requirements
1. authentication via LDAP
This is doable via the LdapAuthentication plugin
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication)
2. group content private to groups (groups defined in
LDAP)
Groups synced via LDAP are doable as well. However, the content being
private to a group isn't possible; well, there are plugins to do this,
but none are truly secure.
3. group content needs to be private across any pages
created by group
members
Same as 2.
4. authentication should flow to any new pages created
by group
Same as 1.
Example
I will have 25 project teams of 6 students, 1-2 faculty, and 1-5
industry
participants. Each team will have their own wiki
page(s) for
collaboration
and
information sharing. No one outside of the team and the program
director
(who needs access to all pages) should be able to
access the team's
wiki.
I think you are looking for a CMS. It is possible to do this with
MediaWiki if you make a wiki farm, and give each group their own wiki,
though.
