WordPress MultiUser Tentative Choice

We've chosen WordPress MultiUser tentatively as our choice of tools. We're going to start showing it to our various pilot users to see if it will meet the requirements of their particular projects, and then report back on what shortcomings we've discovered during this process.

Here are some initial questions we want to explore further:

1. what is the admin environment?
2. can you refer to groups when setting up access control?
3. are there roles to enable non-admins to design templates?
4. image handling --> is there plugin for optimizing image
5. is 2 mb php filesize limit a problem?
6. will this be a good solution for our podcasting efforts.

http://b2evolution.net/ another possible candidate

the folks at nitle have recommended http://b2evolution.net/ as another tool worthy of a close look.
