This would require a separate instance of Kanboard, and would create
two places for people to work in. I'd rather not have that...

Please note that Kanboard is OSS software, which is hosted on Github.
Someone has already been in contact with the maintainer for it, and
from what I understand they may be interested in adding certain
functionality.
At this time, the list of boards is not too long (and is searchable
anyway) so I don't think that will pose a problem.

In regards to assigning people, that indeed does appear to be
functionality which could be improved - however I think search rather
than grouping would be more helpful here.

Giving each project their own instance is unsustainable i'm afraid -
and wouldn't cure the list of users problem anyway, as it requires
login to view unless you have one of the readonly URLs - and once
someone has logged in their account now exists within Kanboard.
