As an aside, I recently set up a TWiki instance on www.unc.edu for
Blackboard internal usage.  It's nice because it uses perl for the
executables, stores the data in text files (instead of requiring a
database), and uses RCS/CVS for version control.  It's not publically
available, but I've tried to document how I went about setting it up
in that wiki.  There are still a couple of weird things with what I
did, but it seems to work pretty well.

I use Apache .htaccess files with onyen authentication, for general
access, and it is internally aware of the authenticated identity (i.e.
it shows edits as being made by "alanh"), but I haven't tried setting
up more granular permissions yet.
