[pmwiki-users] RFC: Site-Admin group - second call

I only received three direct responses to my previous
post [1] about creating a new Site-Admin group, so I wanted
to issue the call once more in case it was overlooked.

The current plan is to create a separate "Site-Admin" group
that will hold strictly administrative pages, and that will
be read-protected by default.  The existing "Site" group will
then hold pages that are generally shared throughout a site,
write protected but generally publicly readable.

The biggest remaining issue is helping sites migrate existing
Site.* pages to their Site-Admin.* counterparts.  

At present I'm expecting that upon upgrading to a Site-Admin
version of PmWiki, PmWiki will respond by prompting the admin
to move pages or change the configuration such that everything
is okay.  There will likely be a "just fix things for me" button
of some sort.

Any final comments on this proposal before I make it happen?
