Guidance on KMC scenarios

Question

Hi All,
Im making an attempt to pick up some basic knowledge on KMC and could really use some help from all you experts out there. I've been going through the Wiki pages, blogs and how-tos but I'm unable to get an overall picture of how KM and Collaboration work together. There are n number of iView templates in the iView wizard for KMC, but no documents to explain how they work together.
From an end-user perspective, i can think of the following scenarios to implement:
1) Create collaboration rooms for every department in a company for example.
Features that I want to incorporate in this room are:
Allow users to see a list of all members in the department, their status (online/offline etc)
Enable group members to upload documents that is visible to all team members (once approved by team lead)
Enable member to email each other
Enable members to set up meeting requests
Have a newsgroup where various departments can publish important info on a regularly basis, and enable users to subscribe to these newsgroups
Have a blogsphere where members can publish blogs and others may comment or provide feedback (similar to SDN blogs)
Once rooms are created, how do we go about assigning them to users (am not clear on this)
I would really appreciate if anybody could provide me documents or the right links that provide detailed guides on how to go about achieving the above and explain how the various KM and Collaboration iViews can be used in conjunction.
Thanks in advance!!
cheers
