Hello,
My one cent contribution ; you could use as backend some eclipse plugins for 
doing this task :
* RSP (eclips server plateform) : 
http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/server/
* eclipse security : http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/security/
* ECF (Eclipse communication framework) : http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/
By comning these three projects with xwiki you could have a powerfull xwiki 
plaeform with plugins, p2p, and so on...
regards
Xavier
