Hi there,
I'm investigating whether this wiki engine is right for me. I'm
looking for three specific design features:
1. able to attach autonomous agents to pages
If I understand properly an autonomous agent is an intelligent agent that
can act on behalf of a user.
This can be done with scheduler jobs, however only "Admins" can create
these jobs and decide on behalf of whom they run.
2. transclusions / includes.
yes that's included
3. capability security model rather than ACLs
this looks more complex. I'm not sure what you need exactly here.
Note that you can rewrite your own security model and plug it in XWiki
You'll need to also rewrite the security setting UI

features #3 + #1 can easily be made to enact:
3a. patron blindness - users can become patrons of others and their
own patron is blind to that, but must deal with the entire
sub-hierarchy of users as a collective
which makes this other feature rather important:
3b. patron multiplicity - users can acquire multiple patrons just in
case their first patron decides to eradicate them
Oh and I suppose:
4. automatic garbage collection and revisions even of deleted pages
If you know of another wiki engine that supports these better, please
let me know. I know that Wagn supports transclusions but I'm rather
doubtful that anyone supports a capability security model. Even though
ACLs really should have died out in the 70s.
Thanks for reading this far,
Richard
