To create new page easy you can use the cookbook "newpagebox.php" recipe
Download and install
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/NewPageBox
in your Site.Sidebar place somewhere the markup
(:createpage:)
There are other alternatives - find them at
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki?n=Cookbook.Cookbook&action=search&q=newpagebox

It is usefull to choose what the name of the main page of the group will
be. Chose "HomePage" or "Welcome" or something other - it's good to set
the name the same as the groupname such as "Handbook.Handbook".
Then you can place in the Site.SideBar a link to a page which lists only
the group's initial pages.
The page containig the list could be for example Site.GroupList
(:title Available Groups:)
(:pagelist name=Welcome order=title:) or
(:pagelist name=HomePage order=title:) or
or create a pagelist template
[[#bygrouptitle]]
(:if equal {=$Group} {=$Name}:)
[[{=$FullName}|+]]
(:if:)
[[#bygrouptitleend]]
which lists only pages having the name the same as the groupname
an list them using
(:pagelist fmt=#bygrouptitle:)

If you expect a very frequent users access to some page, place a link to
that page
[[Handbook.Handbook|+]]
or
[[Handbook.Handbook|Read the Handbook]]
into Site.SideBar, or into Site.RightBar
etc.
Best regards,
