Thank you! Maybe my requirement need a more complex password manage
system to help list multi pages' password status, and use some scripts,
such as regular expression, to modify password for pages by one click.
I mean maybe we could provide a cookbook solution, providing a flexible
password management GUI, and still use the PmWiki default password
storage system. Then administrators could choose the default easy one or
a more complex one, which are compatible.
