Heh -- a not very encouraging screenshot of a Windows Vista (beta) error screen.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone have any wiki software recs? Open source, and editable (to hack security--I want something where one can control who adds and edits, and I want to replace their security with new).

Coding and Sleeping
All this chat software talk makes me want to set my chat software for something other than work, on the downside I have no contacts to put on there other than work.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
mediawiki and Twiki are the biggies if you need that kind of access control; mediawiki can probably handle the authentication stuff better out of the box, but it's a really big installation for a wiki -- depends on your use. You might also check out [link] for feature comparisons.
(edited because I had the wrong wiki...)

What I want to do is replace the authentication, so nothing will be out of the box. If it's big, though, I probably don't want to start there.

I wasn't clear -- I actually meant to say something more like "can handle authenticating via mechanisms other than just its own internal accounts" but then I don't know the setup you have in mind. Still, yes, big: it's the thing behind wikipedia, but it scales down a lot less well than it scales massive.
(D'oh! Just now read BBaBB -- oh, that wiki question...)
And on that note, are we looking for something php/mysql based?

Oh, yeah. Conversation in two places. Sorry! Yes. PHP 4.3.10 and MySQL 3.23.58.

I'll poke through my notes -- I evaluated a metric assload of wiki implementations at work last year; it might as well turn out to be good for something.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
