Quoting Jason Davies, from the post of Wed, 19 Jan:
ok...but think 'talking to paranoid Information Systems people who are
obsessed with security'. can I tell them there is no security reason to
not use wikis, (responsibly)
you can quote me as a paranoid IT consultant that often shoots himself
in the foot arguing with paying clients about security being more
important than a feature they want (often losing the argument and some
PR points, but not before he lays the ground for "I told you so"s).
Mediawiki is perfectly safe. If you are a careful IT manager with free
time you can harden it into a chroot and if you are REALLY paranoid you
can disable uploads altogether and link images in some other way from
external URLs.
