Website Overhaul

Ideas

base the site more around mediawiki with a nice custom theme
phpBB, maybe tie in with mailing lists
use pwauth to authenticate with upl username and password
- see also mediawiki plugin
- Does pwauth support PAM (easiest way to use CSL logins) or kerberos? -Jeff
  - pwauth supposedly supports PAM, but i haven't been able to get it to compile with PAM support. However there are binaries for adding pam support to apache: apache mod auth pam --Aaron
require https for login [1]
From the CSL about logins:
- If we can use pubcookie then we should use that. There's the server part that the CSL has up and running and there's a mod for apache that'll let apache use it as authentication. If the wiki (or whatever) that we use can handle letting the webserver handle authentication, that's great. It'll set the REMOTE_USER envvar appropriately. Otherwise, *shrug*

set up a test box with LAMP
- You'll probably need to figure out how to setup a proxy, because only Crane has a port 80 exception afaik. -Jeff
- If you really want to look at it outside the UPL, set up a tunnel:

ssh -L8080:localhost:80 user@marvin.upl.cs.wisc.edu

where user is your upl user name. Login, then goto http://localhost:8080/wiki/ or http://localhost:8080/bb/ .

Firewall blocks port 80, to view you must access from within the UPL.

Main Site
- wikified
- some themeing
- imported some old site data
- authenticate with upl login and password
  - apache mod auth pam
  - mediawiki wget auth
Forum
- supposedly supports apache authentication (so we can use apache mod auth pam) but I can't find documentation
