I more or less can figure out what you need. Our take was to use a space
as metaphor for a what we could call a "document" (a paper, report,...)
The WebHome of this space will held the table of contents and each entry
in this toc will point to a different XWiki document. You can them
manage the access to each of the entries on a per user basis and
restrict the capability of doing changes in the WebHome to whom you want.
It is of course possible to control who can read a section of a document
using #if-#else-#end structures, but users that can read the document
can see the used code. And users with edit rights can change it, of course.
Another options could be to use any other available XWiki technique to
construct the "document", #include for instance, and add some link to
edit the sections each user has edit access to. Just an idea... XWiki is
plenty of options to do what you are looking for... the point is to
formalize it :-(
There is a thread somewhere in the lists where some topic related with
publishing were discussed. Somebody said that XWiki was not meant to be
a complete publishing solution, just a tool to draw a draft. I am not so
sure about this. Of course I have not skills enough, yet, to go ahead
with such a project, but XWiki seems to me to be a perfect platform to
construct the draft that will be enter any other professional publishing
environment (just thinking about things like FrameMaker, Arbotek, or any
FOSS alternative...).
Thanks for your time,
Ricardo
