I actually take back what I said about no one using it if it wasn't a thread-- I really meant I didn't think anyone would use it if it was off-site. An on-site wiki would be perfect, but I think that any solution that does not call for a lot of work on the side of the developers is good (like the thread solution as envisioned by Strega).
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
if you want an invite, do this, and they do it and get an invite by some automated system? So that a human doesn't have to monitor and send invites manually?
What's to stop someone from doing that and signing up as Zenkitty and doing all sorts of stuff under your name?
That's a big reason to have them the same. Transparency of identity.

I haven't taken an in depth look yet, but TWiki *might* be flexible enough to allow single authentication: [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What's to stop someone from doing that and signing up as Zenkitty and doing all sorts of stuff under your name?
No, I know that's bad, but - We can't do the signing-up inside the board, where we're signed in with passwords? I think I don't understand the problem enough to even frame the question correctly. Never mind.

That's interesting Jon. I'll have to take a look at that in more detail.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
No, zenkitty, you`re exactly right. What we want is to do it within the board with our b.org logins. The problem is that most wiki software (we`re talking about buying or using someone else`s code and putting it on our box, not hand coding like ita did for the board itself.) comes with its own signups and logins and stuff. What we`re looking for is a solution that will let us tie our logins into their code. Then at that point we can sign into the board and also have access to the wiki, and can create content and edit it and everything.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I'm not in love with Bob as a name for Bitches 46, since in breaks the quote tradition.
I don't have any great ideas, but I don't think we've used these:
- Watching the telly while there's evil still afoot
- Don't I get a cookie?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Don't I get a cookie?
I like this one.
