If you mean user auth, someone recently volunteered to work on this and
it's been on the todo list forever:

Locking *some* of the content is right up there with storing the links
separate from the pages. I can't remember why generating a list of
dangling references from the links table was not the way to go, but
storing links separately was the way to go if we wanted to give you the
ability to rename pages. So to lock just part of a page, we'd need a
similar scheme where that part is not displayed in the edit form unless
you own it... hmm.. I guess that might be a simple markup issue after all,
and we filter the page source before it goes into the edit form.
