the_logos will become famous soon enough
How do you deal with security issues when you're allowing the playerbase access to it? In other words, how do you stop some jerk from messing up all the pages? In our case we use it only for immortals, who are all trusted individuals (no one becomes an immortal without hundreds and usually thousands of hours of play, going through an application and interview process, etc etc.) so it's not a big worry.

I mean, we coud allow playes to access a WIKi, for instance, and Ideally I'd love to have a separate wiki for each separate player organization (cities, guilds, religious orders, clans, the Church, Oakstone, assassins, champions, and so on and so forth) but that's going to require some custom coding to tie together Wiki permissions with the playerbase. Do you have a simpler way of doing that, or are you dealing with a playerbase small enough (perhaps with applications to play?) that you can trust them not to screw around?
