At our directors fundraising meeting last week, I was asked to look into
setting up a wiki environment that could be restricted/private, e.g. for
sensitive information and ideas. I was going to just set up another
mediawiki instance but wonder if there is another, more light-weight
solution anyone could recommend. Only a very basic wiki is needed and
only for 10-20 users. Simpler the better and prefer tied into LDAP.

Thought I'd ask before jumping into mediawiki, since I understand it
wasn't really designed for more private usage (?).

Maybe.. can it be secured enough to prevent public read access?

I'm pretty sure it can,

top bar: [Admin]

side bar: [Permissions]

Manage Permissions

Subject Action
anon WIKI_VIEW

where "subject" is on the royal sense, it can be osgeo id or a group name.

so you have however many osgeo ids in that list, all with WIKI_VIEW set,
then remove the anon one.

Comment (by aboudreault):

We could also simply create a trac instance and protect it via apache
authentification (using LDAP). Otherwise, there is also a few trac hacks
to secure only specific wiki pages:

  * http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/PrivateWikiPlugin
