Hi,
Sorry for the late response. Given that your resources are limited, I
suggest you would not use virtual wikis for this. Spaces will be highly
sufficient. It is no problem to have user rights associated with spaces.
The advantages of virtual wikis are also it's disadvantages:
1/ a different database which means also searching only occurs in one wiki
2/ a different user database (though you can share a global user database)
3/ you can have different skins for each virtual wiki
What you can do is based on the users departement, include a redirect in
the home page to send him to the right "space".
http://yourwiki/xwiki/bin/view/Departement/PageName
and in
http://yourwiki/xwiki/bin/view/Departement/PageName
include a script to handle the redirect based on fields in the user's
profile.

Bergner, Olaf a écrit :
We are in the process of evaluating Java based Wikis for integration
into our company portal (based on Jetspeed 1.5). One key requirement
is that each department should be restricted to its own private Wiki
or a subset thereof.
I have studied the concept of Spaces or Webs which might support this
requirement. On the other hand, there is the possibility of setting up
a Virtual Wiki for each department.
(1) Is it possible to achieve the desired mapping from department to wiki?
(2) Is there a preferred way of achieving said goal, i.e. what are the
relative advantages of choosing Spaces or Virtual Wikis?
(3) How do I identify a Wiki Space or Virtual Wiki resp., i.e. how do
I make sure that each user is initially presented with "his" wiki?
Please bear in mind that ressources allocated for this project are
restricted and the product has to be delivered within a very tight
time frame. So if the desired integration would be possible yet would
entail considerable effort I would be glad to be told so upfront.
Many thanks for your efforts,
Olaf Bergner
