Now that I've had some coffee, this sentence causes me some concern. As I see it the point of a Wiki is that ANYONE on the site can create/edit/update content. You visit the site, signup and viola! You can create edit, etc... The only job for admins is to look at new changes and clean up any "issues".

Can you elaborate what you mean by "favorite geeks" having the edit password?

Thanks.

Since we seem to have settled on a Disney Themed Wiki, onto the planning stage:

Any suggestions on a name? (TikiWiki is taken, sorry). I'm thinking DisWiki has a nice ring to it...

As for the site itself. I would like to sculpt a site that can potentially include all aspects of Disney: Parks, Movies, Business, etc. It needs to be friendly for Newbie’s but at the same time serve the needs of the more advanced user. It might even need two "front pages".... The default and a more advanced page accessed via a secret door (complete with creaking wav sound..) off the default page (or just a direct link if you get tired of the wav...).

So for discussion purposes, I'll call the newbie’s "Guests" and the more advanced users "AP's".

From my point of view, an AP would visit the site for two reasons. First to see what's new and second to add/edit some content

Wouldn't a 3rd be to look something up, new or not?

Of course, to clarify my thoughts, I was thinking how an AP would differ from a guest. The primary funciton for a guest would be to "look things up".

And the first disgruntled off-shoot can be DatWiki. How thoughtful of you to plan ahead!
