For create/modify access this is allready the case. Specific groups
can be assigned this privilige, so simply add the person to the
appropriate groups. If you want read access control you'll have
to wait for the 2.0 release which will have fine-grained control
for any type of access I could think of.

The admin site is "just another" midgard application. You can develop
a site that simply offers only the functionality to create and update
topics and articles.

The easiest way would be to clone the admin site and strip all
functionality
you don't need, but copying an entire site is not easy at this point.
The
2.0 packaging may make this easier, but I'm not sure.

You can also add extra code to the standard admin site to leave out
parts
of the site based on the groups the logged-in user is member of.
