I'd like to be able to do the following:
1. limit write access to machines only on our local network
Put the wiki behind a firewall. Or use your option 3 too lock it.
2. limit write access to users who login so we can
track changes

3. limit user accounts to specific people.

I'm working at a college of computer science and
so I don't want to,
right off the bat, enable all of the students with write access. I would
like to get there eventually but I'd like to start out with only a small
number of users who have write access and then grow that group over time.
Understood but a complete lock out is against the spirit of Wikis.
Disabling anonymous edits to allow tracking should be enough. Or did I
forget how college kids are?
