[Zope-CMF] [dev] renaming /Members: a small proposal

[Kari-Hans Kommonen]

This is great but would it be possible to add a bit:

Since the CMF already supports the option of having the user folder 
in a container above the CMF itself, it should be possible to specify 
that the members_folder could be in the same container as the 
acl_users the portal is using. This could be a true/false property as 
checkbox wherever the acl_users location gets set. (I have not looked 
at 1.4)

..

I have this as an acute problem. We plan to run several CMF instances 
in the same server where we'd like users to register only once and 
easily cross-post materials.

It would be great not have to customize CMF too much... I am now 
planning to uuse acl_users above the CMF instances, but I have to 
find a way to get the sites to use a common Members folder.
