Yes, but in Ruwiki I do not at this point have an authentication
mechanism which detects Apache/htaccess login detection. If you want
to add one, see the GForge authenticator[1] for the first
authenticator -- but remember that the authentication API is
unstable. Using this will enable you to have the edit button appear
only when authorized users are enabled.

Instiki is, IMO, less suitable for most homepage replacements
because it requires a full-time process rather than a CGI. (It can
do CGI with a proxy, but it still requires a full-time process.)

I cannot promise a lot of support between now and the new year for
Ruwiki, but I will attempt to answer any questions you have, at
least until I go to Cuba.
