The probblem, as I see it, is that Zwiki lacks an user+page rights
administration interface. From the docs, one has to add DHTML code to every
single page which you want to have special rights; there's no cental
management.

From my perspective, we need a system which supports the following rights
options, *without* requring hand-tweaking of the DHTML of each page:
-- Only admin can edit the page
-- Only the original submitter and the admin can edit the page
-- Only registered users can edit the page
-- Anyone can edit the page

We also need a system that allows uploading of files and embedding of images
by users. And I would prefer one that supports heirarchy trails at the top
of the page to help users navigate.

Doubtless Zwiki could be improved to include all these things. But as I
don't even do Python, I'm not the one to do it ...
