the biggie:
Remote authentication for edit-passworded pages
So I was thinking in terms of a specific action= that would handle
receiving authentication information of some type --
username
passcode (people can give the wikiserver a specific passcode -- not
their personal password -- to say "it's ok to post this")
group/pagename
body
Better yet, pass an array for those last two:
array ( 'group/pagename' => 'body');
And a single authentication/HTTP request can add/append/replace
several snippets of text to different pages.
?action=posts
There are probably other applications for which this would be
useful. Imagine wikis able to PUSH data around. It would need to be
executed with care, though, otherwise you'll have one wikispammer who
posts at one site only to find it replicated at a dozen sites. Also,
it's bad SEO to repeat data on multiple sites.
