Hi Jim,

I've started working on this, and it's
morphing into a more general
replacement for UserRights. The basic idea is that I'm going to make
it so that the Special Page works on lists of users rather than on
one user at a time, and I'm going to use checkboxes for the groups
instead of the menu.
I think it's a great and worthy idea. :-)
At least that's the plan... we'll see if I can
actually do it! If
anyone has suggestions, please reply. And if any subset of this does
already exist, please let me know!!!!
I'm sure that you're already aware of
it, but on the off-chance that not, have a
look at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Group_Based_Access_Control -
this extension offers a way to make pages accessible to certain groups only.
One suggestion/wish - it would be great, if only those pages that are accessible
to a user were to show up as search-results. :-)
Good luck with the new UserRights-functionality!
Greetings
Katharina
