+How about adding ACL? So that you can control which users are allowed
+to read, write certain pages. The moinmoin wiki has that, and it is
+something, that I think is very valuable.

+> ikiwiki currently has only the most rudimentary access controls: pages
+> can be locked, or unlocked and only the admin can edit locked pages. That
+> could certianly be expanded on, although it's not an area that I have an
+> overwhelming desire to work on myself right now. Patches appreciated and
+> I'll be happy to point you in the right directions.. --[[Joey]]
