[Zope-PTK] Lots of questions from a newbie

I have searched the archive as much as possible to find these answers, if I
ask something that is covered some place else, forgive me :)

1. I'm attempting to use zopePTK for our intranet. Do I need a separate
portal for each of our 5 main sections or do I just use one portal for the
site and have different folders for each section? Our sections include
personnel, security, site operations, press, etc.

2. If I do have separate portals for each section how does membership work?
If a content provider works in two of the sections will they have to join
each portal section?

3. We do some business to business work and make some of our intranet
available to associates. Is it possible to build a conditional statement
that will hide the "login" and "join" toolbar so ONLY people from within our
internal IP range will see the tool bar? If it is, is there documentation
that might help me figure it out?

4. OK, I have a member named bob and he creates a news article, he publishes
it and I approve it, now it is publicly available. What I don't get is how
do I add the news article to the correct sections of the site. Bob's news
article is listed on the "recent_news" page, but when I click on it the path
shows up as "/myPortal/Members/bob/newsbrief" I want the path to be
/myPortal/recent_news/newsbrief. Another example...bob creates an internal
job opps document, publishes it and again it is approved. I think I
understand how to generate a listing of documents from my personnel job opps
page, but again the path reflects bob's members directory, and I want the
path to reflect the personnel job opps directory. HOW?

5. Can the iTrack product be used in conjunction with the PTK? I would like
to add some project work flow and collaboration to one of my portal
sections.

I'm sure I have more questions, but those will do for now. 

Thanks!!
