Not properly this, I've added the possibility to choose which phpgw groups
could answer to the questions submitted.
In the admin sectioin of the program, you select groups or group and so only
these groups could  use the functions, and see the links to edit/add
answers.
Maybe we can add also the possibility to choose wich groups can add
questions...

I've found the anon_wrapper.php page, linking to this works allright, there
is a 'malicious' bug, infact when you log 'anonymously' you have the
permission to change your password (!!!)...at the moment I've found a
workaround, deleting the acl record related to the 'changepassword'
permission.

Yes! I was talking about the server I've already send you the adress and
login
(http://www.fis.unical.it/~phpgroupware/login.php)
at the moment I've not installed the 'new' version, but I'll do as soon as
possible.
