I would rather use Commanche Swiki which is a wiki implemented in
Smaltalk (Squeak to be exact). Probably more easy to modify by an
Objective-C programmer than perl...
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki
Note that in this Swiki, the security level can be set up for users
without identification as either:
Deny All Read Only Append Write Allow All
and login/password can be set up for identified accesses.
