By default, members can only add content in their home folders.

The way it works in Real Sites is that one generally puts people in  
groups, and then give those groups permissions via the Sharing tab.

For example, the Documentation group on plone.org have manager rights in  
the Documentation area.

We're making this easier to understand in the upcoming Plone 3, with  
pre-configured (local) Reader, Editor and Reviewer roles.
