* *Updated* Now that I play with this a bit, this seems not so important. Having a seperate sync operation that I run from the laptop is no big deal, and lets me update the parts of my site not yet managed by ikiwiki at the same time.

+* Ok, I have finally finished to set this up. I have a question for you :) Is it mandatory to have a locally running webserver on the laptop ? I mean, do I need to setup the CGI wrapper on the laptop ? Is it possible to just add/edit/delete/whatever, git commit all the stuff and git push back to the server ? Thank you. --[[xma]]

+The only way to have a private ikiwiki, with a shared user database for static pages and CGI authentication, is to use [[plugins/httpauth]]. It would be good for httpauth to be on par with [[plugins/passwordauth]],
+i.e. to allow registering users, resetting passwords, and changing passwords; supporting some kind of
+`account_creation_password` configuration option would be nice, too.
+
+I'll probably propose patches implementing this at some point.
+I've not had a single look at the code yet, but it may be nice to factorize
+the relevant passwordauth code, instead of rewriting it completely in httpauth.
