As mentioned on IRC, I think a cheap form of [[todo/ACL]] can be maintained using OpenID in ikiwiki.

Say I want to limit edits to wiki.webvm.net to users of that machine. For the user 'hendry' I create a http://hendry.webvm.net/ OpenID (which actually delegates to http://hendry.myopenid.com/). And likewise for other users.

So I suggest an ikiwiki configuration like:

 users => ["*.webvm.net"],

Would only allow edits from openIDs of that form.

This kind of thing can be [[done]] now: --[[Joey]]

locked_pages => "* and !user(http://*.webvm.net/)"
