I tend to run all of my web services behind an apache front-end; by
policy, apache is the only HTTP server I ever expose directly to the
Internet. So authorization isn't a big thing for me. Any access
control I need to implement can be done at the apache level.

What's more important for me is that config file; I'd really like to
have things like *wiki-directory* and *wiki-template-directory* in a
plain text file somewhere; that'd make integration with apache much
easier.


I think that what initially attracted me to cl-wiki was its
simplicity; I liked the fact that I could read all of the source code
and easily understand what each piece did, and how to extend it,
should the need arise. I think that, whatever new features get added
to it, we should try to preserve that kind of simplicity.
