I find this a very unsatisfying situation. I would prefer the SideBar
to have no edit protection as default, and let an admin add protection
as needed later. It severely limits the joy of
"out-of-the-box-ready-to-go" functionality, and limits the idea of an
open wiki.

I also would like to see a default Site.Site page, so that going to
"Site" does not go to nowhere, but to a page, which can contain links
to the Site configuration pages, possibly with some advise to the new
admin how to unlock the group, edit the sidebar etc.

PmWiki.InitialSetupTasks should also describe what to do to get
access to the site group and to the SideBar.
