Source code

Visit for documentation and official announcements regarding UseModWiki. The current documentation is minimal, but the developers and some users will try to answer any questions. A mailing list for major UseModWiki announcements (releases and critical bugs) is available. Send mail to [email protected] to join the list. Wiki administrators should be aware of the risks of enabling the HTML or email options in UseModWiki. Permitting full HTML editing allows a malicious user to cause the browsers of other users to execute arbitrary Javascript, Java applets, or other possible sources of security holes. The email option could be misused to send annoying mail to third parties (since no validation is done on the email addresses entered into the Preferences page). These options may be useful for small trusted groups, but they are not advised for wikis open to the general public.
