No, no. Not by far. I just love Phase3 and want to use it for a closed
community. So I want to ensure:
+ Only community insiders can read articles
+ Only community insiders can edit/create articles
+ Only certain people are allowed to become insiders.
A per-article ACL feature would be increadibly bloated and I wouldn't
even know what benefits it could have.
Wouldn't a simple basic authentication for the server also serve your
purpose?
That's more or less what I meant. If it doesn't use Wikipedia-specific
information about user accounts and articles, then httpd is much better
suited for it. If it uses these information, it will cause huge bloat.
So either way it's not good idea to add such code to codebase.
