Hi,
so for having a really good bibliography it would be nice if it would be possible to have a public and non public part.

So for example: User X has several publications he has written and want to make these pubs public. But he also want to maintain a list of everything he read in the past and do not want to make this public.

This is currently not possible, but I was planning a change to the database structure which would make it possible in the future. Basically I was going to introduce the concept of "collections" which would allow you to group entries into a collection, then I could see that access could be controlled by collection.

The "collections" feature would be great.
How works exactly?
Can I group the same node in many collections?
Can I make community collections? (so many users can access or edit them)

I want to group "books" nodes in editions (or translations from an original book) and I think that the "collections" concept could do it.

First let me be clear, the "collection" concept is just that, a concept, there is no code yet. That being said, I don't think it would be a a big job to implement it, so I will try to do so in the 6.x release. In response to your question, as I envision it, I don't think it would be a problem to have same node in multiple collections, since a collection does not contain the node itself, just a pointer to the node so there is no duplication of content. And as I stated before I will be sure to build in an access control feature for each collection.
