Cool, Martijn!

Yeah!

My demo apps LoginDemo and PlainLogin demo attempt to show the
simplest approaches to authorization and authentication in Grok:

http://svn.zope.org/grokapps/LoginDemo/trunk/
http://svn.zope.org/grokapps/PlainLoginDemo/trunk/

Also, check Kevin Teague's take on what an essential login demo should
look like:

http://svn.zope.org/Sandbox/kteague/BabyLoginDemo/

It'd be nice if people who know Grok better than I would update at
least one of the above demos to best current practices.

And please bring on those convience abstractions!!!! (*)


A Happy 2009 to all in Grokkerdom!

Cheers,

Luciano

(*) In zopeland it's better not to wish for higher-level abstractions;
if you do, you end up with concepts like principals instead of
users...
