This is always an appropriate question.

I try to check out new checkins and I am sure others do too, but it 
happens...  The entire user system has been in flux and we really need 
to discuss architecture so we're not just commiting new features ad hoc. 
  I really think we need to nail down that part of the system before we 
get to making/fixing the user experience (this is still a development 
release).

I have just committed the Group interface (lib/WikiGroup.php) for Group 
membership determination.  It is pretty well documented so it should be 
pretty obvious what is happening. I'd like people to check it out for 
comments and corrections.  Sorry it is so delayed (I promissed this back 
in October).

If we can get the UserAuthentication, PagePermissions and UserGroups 
straightened out a lot of these User Experience issues will be easier.
