this is definitely something that fits perfectly into the SmallWiki 2 
model: it is just a matter of writting a different document editor and 
putting the user information into the parse-nodes of the document.

I am right now concentrating on the core functionality like the 
security and the storage model. Unfortunately SmallWiki 2 isn't ready 
in lots of areas yet.

Cheers,
