[Zope-CMF] Proposal: Additional member properties to allow anonymous viewof the member roster

[Grégoire Weber]

Shane,

I am very pleased about your (and the other peoples at DC) 
prompt answers! Thanks!

Ok, I've found the checkbox. Sorry, I didn't look at this 
management screen before.

But it didn't solve the problem entirely because 'getRoster' 
is declared protected. I changed it to declarePublic (see
diff below). This solved the problem with the redirect to 
the login_form!

Did I found a bug or is it intended not to show the roster
to anonymous surfers?

So far so good.

getRoster with only especialy selected members
----------------------------------------------

Additionaly, I would be interested in a feature to get only
especially selected members (selection by Manager). I'd like
to list only special members (or organisations, see my first 
e-mail below) at the front portals page.

e.g. if I call portal_membership.getRoster(onlySelected=1)
in a DTML file i get only the selected ones. To achieve this
behaviour there is a need of an additional property.

I would be interested to implement this small enhancement.
Could you point out where possible changes have to be made?
