Yeah, authentication is pretty high on the project to-do list.

What type or level of authentication would you need?  What in Instiki works 
and doesn't work in the way of authentication?

We'll probably be looking at using an existing Rails authentication scheme 
with an eye to allowing a coherent method across an entire site that may 
contain other Rails built elements in addition to Informl.  Has anybody 
used anything that plays nice with Rails apps?


Thanks,

Larry

P.S. we've added the "brain buster" plug in to help prevent wiki spam, 
which addresses one element of why some wikis have authentication.
