"any news on a profile for private sites without the ability to invite???
"

"still hoping to see a member category of member that cannot invite but still visit, it is the only way that a privte site can be private"

"This doesn't work for me. If there's even one person who isn't "scared", and they invite someone in who is able to gain entry before I discover it, then I can't use WetPaint for certain applications.

Again, I am trying to use WetPaint in an academic setting. If i have a classroom of students invited into a course wiki, there will be occasions when I do not want a student from a different class in this wiki. I'm not saying I can't trust students to not invite if told not to invite. I just don't want there to be a possibility.

I am also trying to sell the wiki idea to a large number of faculty. They need to have the no invite option ... some have told me that they will not try WetPaint until this feature is available."

"Despite what you may think, it's not an easy change. Roles and Permission are an integral part of our system and affect every page load in numerous ways. When I say that we're looking into something, that means we're evaluating what development and testing would require in order to make it work.

We've proven, repeatedly and recently, that we respond to our users' requests. While this particular feature has gotten a few requests, it's not more important than some other initiatives we're been working on recently. Friends, What's New, Promote Your Site, and the site redesign were significant efforts, both in feature functionality and development time. There are many great ideas that get left out on every release.

I agree that this is an important change to make. I am not, however, the sole arbiter of what gets developed."
