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).

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
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.
Apple will next week announce that it's going to start selling full-length movie downloads through the iTunes Music Store, if the forecast of a US market watcher is correct.
They've been talking about that for eight months. I'll be really interested to see if they are actually able to go through with it. I mean, what would the file size and type be? Could you only play it in iTunes? Would it therefore transform iTunes (as it more or less is now) from a music application to an all-around media application, like WMP?
