That's interesting as we haven't (thus far at least) had a problem with
permissions being maintained on a 'pushed' wiki (except once where some
permissions were lost after an LX Upgrade).

Thanks for this Wayne, and it's what we tried - if you set sharing
permissions on the Default User sites, when the students create the wiki or
blog based on those sites, Expo doesn't actually keep those permissions.
Well, at least I know it isn't just us !
