At least on this side: one of the rules of thumb for the functioning of our group is based
in what we call "user empowerment principle": once a user create a new page
containing an original (at least within the group) idea, she/he must be empowered to grant
access to team members she/he trust.
There are general policies people must follow.
We know how to do that while managing file access. To implement the same system with the
collaborative edition environment is our main challenge at the moment.
And I am struggling to stick MediaWiki as long as possible. My problem is that is really
difficult for me to contribute, if possible taking into account the basis of the whole
project, to such an extension. I understand that it is not a priority and why, but perhaps
it must be taken into account that the control of confidence relations is a must for most
of the human-based teams!
Greetings,
Ricardo

Why not just have separate wikis for your different groups? We tried
setting permissions for namespaces on one wiki...users promptly
created new pages in the main namespace that were viewable by
everyone. Since the ability to create links and new pages is part of
the whole point...
