The Wiki, should only be used for the info only, not for e-commerce. The
stores/e-commerce should be kept separate from the info/wiki for obvious
reasons (i.e. security, backup). Only a selected few should have access
and update the store/e-commerce section of the site. Links and modules can
be created to draw people to the store for items and so on, but they
should be kept separate database/server wise.
