If you are ready to look under the hood, we can definitely help you realizing that. Actually having your organization's space visible by unregistered users is not very hard. Once its created, you can do as follow (logged as Admin): - Click the "Administration" link in the XWiki toolbar - Click the "Space rights" tab in the administration page - Select your organization top-level space in the drop-down list (the one without any suffix: Space_MyOrganization, not Space_MyOrganization_Wiki or Space_MyOrganization_Blog) - Once its loaded, click twice the checkbox for unregistered users under "view" to have it green-checked (it should appear with a red circle at first). - ... and your done! The _Wiki, _Blog, etc. spaces will inherit their rights from that top-level one, so you shouldn't have anything to do for them. If you want to have registered users able to comment, you can check the "comment" box for XWikiAllGroup as well.
