not completly wrong ;)  you could a) use a user object and migrate to
your wiki by cli or b) use xmlrpc to send content to the remote wiki.

For a) you may be interested in

have a user set this to request.user)

and for b) in
 *
https://coconuts.icg.kfa-juelich.de/hg/coconuts-0.4/file/tip/Coconuts/xmlrpc/__init__.py
