hi quim,
you managed to confuse me :) i thought that it is a great idea to
finally implement groups, and access control lists in mediawiki as
first class citizen, like e.g. moinmoin has it. one enters one ACL
line on top of the wiki wiki page see here for details:

Hi, here you have a first draft about MediaWiki Groups, and implicitly
MediaWiki reps:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil/MediaWiki_groups
MediaWiki groups organize open source community activities within the scope
of specific topics and geographical areas. They extend the capacity of the
Wikimedia Foundation in events, training, promotion and other technical
activities benefiting Wikipedia, the Wikimedia movement and the MediaWiki
software.
:)
With this name I expected to confuse a few dozens of people in the
entire World while they finish the first paragraph of the email.
I reality MediaWiki Groups names will be seen in certain context, making
that confusion almost impossible:
"... presented by Mary Smith, from the MediaWiki HTML5 Group"
"... the booth will be run by the MediaWiki Bangalore Group volunteers"
"... the contest is organized by the MediaWiki Group Brazil"
"... this series of webinars have been produced by the MediaWiki UX Group"
etc
Imagine MediaWiki Germany Group, MediaWiki Lua Group...
These groups may become a significant source of growth and wider diversity
of our community.
Please bring your ideas to the discussion page - or here. Thank you!
