Do we really want all that in our codebase ? Why can't you just fork ?
Sourceforge serves more than just Wikipedia. Eventually our software will be used in a variety of projects, unless it get screwed up so no one else can use it without doing extensive tedious modifications.
Yeah, but what he proposes is so radically unwiki that he should probably just fork.
I don't see a problem of unwikiness. I am involved in two confidential projects which use UseMod wiki where editing is restricted to a smallish (about 50) pool of people (one has a slightly larger reading pool), and having access control as part of the software would be much more convenient then having to use httpd authentication (always enter via the same URL etc) .
I'm also merging the enhanced wiki parser I'm writing with an access control script to form a content management system for my clients.
