Actually, this is one of the big problem. Let's take a look at the
AuthUser. There are so many ways of implementing it, so which one
is "your own special preference". I don't know. If I don't know
enough to choose the right one, I am stuck.

I just had this happened late last year, where some customers wanted
to setup their own wiki, but wanted to do it themselves and only call
me if they had some question. I recommended PmWiki, but when they
looked at it, they were confused by the so many ways of doing the
same thing. Especially the AuthUser. So they ended up choosing
Dokuwiki.

I would lot simpler for "average" people to have one recommended way,
but since we provide flexibility here are the other ways of achieving
a similar result.
