Perhaps we should move this thread to tikiwiki-devel? I thought of that before, but each group should be able have multiple leaders, not just the creator.

The social networking site, xing, allows groups to be defined, and can designate group administrators who allow individuals to join a group. This allows people to participate in multiple groups with different circles of friends in each group. Group membership could be individual selection (I assign myself to a group) or administered (you must optionally ask and then be assigned). > > > > > > > > Is there a way to do this now without giving total admin permission? > > > > > > > > Perhaps it's wrong to use the terminology "group" and I should be calling it something else, like "community". It might be less complcated to create a community separate from the existing permission structure.
