Ikiwiki user roles
Working with this website isseparated into some distinct roles.
Besides the technician setting up the system, there is the content author,
the web graphics and interface designer and the normal reader of the site.
The author can write content before the shaping and visual enhancing is ready. And
the site can be live readable while evolving both content and style.
The system builds two websites in parallel - one presented for normal reading, and
another one with edit links, only offered to designer and author (secured by
individual passwords).
