You're talking about a temporary hack, do you have in mind any better solution with our current model or are you refering to a new "system" tagging feature that we could implement in the future model component ? FYI I was planning to implement this and hidden spaces (as a XWikiPreferences property, yep this one is a hack ;) in 1.7. > To show these documents (for admins, for example) we could add another > searchDocuments method which accepts a boolean parameter that enables or > disables the filter on the 'hidden' property. +1.
