well, I am at an university, the server is the university server, I am
using my personal account. Theoretically the administrators and I should
have access. These are two people too much (if the files are susceptible
to forgery).

The point is: it should be difficult to later change something in a lab
notebook without leaving traces. For this you usually in a normal paper
labnotebook:

use a bound notebook, not single pages
best the pages are numbered, minimum every page has a date
you write continuously, page after page without leaving some empty
if you make a mistake, only mark it as wrong and add the true info
you should sign each page, at least if the journal is used by a group
you should have the book checked and signed by someone else (which is
not often done, admittedly)

While there certainly always is a way to do harm, the difficulty should
be at least as high with an electronic notebook.

So, how is this with dokuwiki? Easy? Or difficult?

Regards,
Michael
