Hmmmm.... documenting a documentation problem...

I hate to have to report this, but the j permission doesn't allow "nobody" to see links to embedded documentation or other internal pages (e.g. [./login]).

I'm confused about whether this is bug or not. It looks like index.wiki is set up assuming that "nobody" will be able to follow a [./whatever] link, but that seems like a pretty big policy change.

Fix with a disclaimer? (I have one, but haven't pushed it yet.)

Reading embedded documentation should require check-out privilege ("o") since the user is reading files out of the source tree. Any file in any check-in can be read using the embedded documentation URLs. So if we allow users with Read-Wiki privilege ("j") to read embedded documentation, that essentially makes "j" and "o" the same thing.
