 	This is what I don't want. I want e-mails for daily summaries, not 
e-mail on commit.

 	The application I am thinking of now really does want to be 
wiki-style, but locked down: there is a small set of users and maybe a few 
domains (tech support, marketing, development...). Users belong to groups 
in a domain. All pages owned by that domain are writable by all users: if 
you can read the page, you can edit it, but most people (and the Internet) 
can't read the wiki at all.

 	For now we only have a single domain, which makes the problem 
easier: there is a small set of users that can write all pages. If I can 
find a solution with that level of control, then I am happy for now.

 	Having said that I have thought of Drupal, which doesn't really 
support group editing well except through book pages (which is what we 
have on the KWLUG site).
