[LUNI] Wiki with passwords

Disclaimer: I loath wikis. :-)  Inventing a new obscure syntax so that you 
don't have to learn HTML, when it gets translated to HTML anyway, is 
bass-ackwards and a waste of brain cells.

However, there are a lot of wiki packages out there that should have those 
features.  You could also build one yourself with Drupal and a couple of 
modules.  You can configure it to use a wiki-esque syntax or skip that and 
just use a subset of HTML directly as god intended.  Most halfway-decent web 
hosts will do, for Drupal or any other wiki package.  Disclaimer: I am a 
Drupal developer, so I'm biased. :-)

Also, if the information really is sensitive enough that you don't want 
someone outside your company to see it, then put it behind your firewall.  
Whatever software you use, just stick it behind the firewall with no global 
routing.  Much safer that way.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas 
Jefferson
