    I am using PHPwiki as part of a course management process.

    I want to assign to students specific tasks. But I would like the results
    of those tasks to be in the wiki.

    To do this, I would like to define "private words" something like this.
    Every student needs to do specific things: define a paper. Write a paper. etc.

    If the student is logged in as joe, then I would like all the words joe-x
    to be only writable by the user joe and by admin.

    So the user goes to joe-journal, and this is then his journal and not anyone else can change it.

    How would I do this?

      You are talking about access control lists, which we haven't written in yet. Sorry.

      However your suggestion is something I wouldn't have thought of (that is, one keyword allowing only that user and the admin to write to the page). I think that's something we can implement, but it won't be for months.

      One problem would be: any user could "stake a claim" on a page by putting their name on it. The admin would have to undo this.

      cheers
