In WordPress content articles are either posts or pages. Whenever you publishe you have to either make it public which is accessible to everyone or make it private which will be accessible to the registered users. This comes by default you don’t need a special plug in for it. For ldap I have not use any, but I can test next week.
I think the scope of this forum should span beyond government. We need to have conversation with the overall industry players. We need to build a strong FOSS platform in this country. As a result we need to identify all the key stakeholders that can play a crucial role in this strategy. We need private sector to support the strategy, provide skills, and training. We need government to support the strategy. We therefore need to foster public private partnership towards the achievement of FOSS for the country. We therefore need to invite private companies to use OSS to compete with proprietary software.
We need to be aware that proprietary software vendors played a big role in fighting against OSS. We need Private sector to fight with us against the proprietary. For me that is how I think we can win this battle.
Let us move this discussion to the discussion under all forums. I want to respond to it there, since it like everybody is following the discussion there.

Thank you for the input received regarding our site. We will continue to improve the site as we move along. We still need more upto date relevant content for the site, however the site is usable. I therefore suggest that everyone should register on the site site and all discussion should be move to the site. If needed I can also develop an android app for the site do that we can follow our discussion from there. So anyone who want to make an input should register on the site and start making contributions. We have made registration easy at this stage and we might tighten it as the need arises. Regards
