Swiki locked

I think Scamper may be to restrictive on the audience thereby limiting 
Swiki usage. Something that could be an interesting future option and 
also usable for other web development purposes would be to develop an 
authoring environment for the Squeak plugin. This will be an interesting 
option (regardless of other security decisions) when the Squeak plugin 
is mature enough and availability widespread enough to be inclusive of a 
large audience. With the Squeak (web browser) plugin we would be able to 
  do some types of authentication that aren't available to simple web 
programming. It could also help the spread of the Squeak plugin and 
Squeak itself.

Just some thoughts.
