Wiki section on Identity Pages

The concept of Wiki doesn't need presentations.

The conceptual idea discussed in this post is the possibility of defining an editable section on the user identity Page, a simple Wiki area.

The Wiki section is just a subset of the content of the entire page, this because the contents of the Identity Page related to declaration of the authentication protocol and the section related to the user data must be unmodifiable by users to guarantee a good level of security and robustness of the system.

The immediate advantages are obvious: the Identity Page will become the baricenter of the user identity, anything that can be represented as a link and embedded in a HTML page, both static or dynamic scripting, is a candidate content of the Wiki Section.

Tipical contents would be:

  • link User blog

  • link to photo album

  • link to social network profile
