the source control architecture would not back up the database itself, only 
the code to generate it and access it.  however you don't need SSH to access a 
wiki/database from the html front end?

for forms and templates it would work.  i have set up recently a mercurial 
over https configuration.  it boils down to adding users in the .htaccess 
file, no SSH access required (which I understand is what you are wary about?).

Why do you state that SVN is not OK to publish a website?  Hugin moved to 
Mercurial only a year ago.  Prior to that it was in SVN.  The website too.  
And it worked well.

I don't know the site's architecture.  I do know that before giving up a tool 
I would want to have a comprehensive look at what works and what not, and make 
sure that the change of tool is not just for the sake of changing tool.

My understanding from this discussion is that there is a need for faster 
collaboration across time zones.  I am not in the position to judge if a 
change of tool will fix this.  I don't know enough.  Just trying to help with 
a few ideas/pointers.  If you want me to help, I can make some time available 
in April and I will first need to understand what's on the ground before 
starting to fiddle.
