They’re still there, see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/ContentOrganization/ > Users working on project X should see only pages (and navigation tree) of > project X, > while the board of directors should be able to see and work on all projects.

I don’t understand what you mean by "multiple group memberships/board of directors” and why it’s an issue with multi-wiki. You can have as many groups you want on the main wiki for example and then set permissions on each sub-wiki. You don’t need to create local users if that’s your worry. See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/WikiVsNestedPages (which is linked from http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/ContentOrganization/) if you need to know the detailed differences between nested pages and multi-wikis. > So I need nested pages. > Any hints on how to configure this would be greatly appreciated! Yes, there’s nothing to configure, you just click the + button to add a page under the current one (or specify any location in the Add page dialog that opens). > Second, I want all applications, blog, sandbox, ... gone from what users see. You still want these apps in the wiki but only visible to some users or completely gone and removed? > When I > try to delete these pages I get the warning that I should instead remove the > extension … Yes that’s good. What’s the problem you faced? We recently introduced a protection to avoid users deleting application pages by mistake, see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/Data/XWiki/9.1/ Note that we currently have a limitation that we need to fix ASAP: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8608 Thus in the meantime you can disregard the warning and delete the pages of those apps you don’t need instead of uninstalling them. > Users should see a hierarchical navigation panel on the left and the page on > the right > and rest of the area in the browser.
