[Zope-CMF] Eliminating the /Members directory?

[Kevin Carlson]

Another option you have is to handle the entire document creation process
yourself.  For example:

 - programmatically create an ID for the document
 - call constructContent
 - call editMetadata after the fact

I have used this strategy to create a "repository" based instance of CMF
that doesn't expose any member-based path information in the URLS.  If you
would like code to go with the rather lame instructions above, please let me
know and I will post them to the list.

Two things:

  - Turn off member folder creation in the membership tool;  members
    won't have the folder.

  - Give the users the "Owner" local role in the specific folders
    where you want them to add content.

That's it.
