Dear Peter,
I don't have an in-wiki method, although it shouldn't be too hard to
write a recipe for this.
In the past I've successfully moved files from one group to another
simply by changing the group part of the filename. If it's a one-off
thing, you should be able to do that with a one-liner command (I can
help with that if needed), as long as you want to move *all* the pages
from one group to the other (although RecentChanges might be a problem,
if it contains fully qualified page names).
If you want to periodically do this on an ongoing basis, then perhaps
you should consider reorganizing your pages so that you use a new group
every so often, e.g. BlogPages-2007q1.yyyy-mm-dd and then it would be a
simple matter of rearranging permissions on each group as desired. You
could perhaps still use BlogPages as a static front-page, which would
simply redirect the user to the current set of blog pages. Just a
thought...
Shi.
