Hi!


Thanks for the feedback.

I hope someday someone will fix <http://collector.zope.org/CMF/25>, that 
would make ownership of content items less important.

I can't see a general solution for the ownership issues, so I was going 
to ignore that inside the deleteMember method. If you need to fix the 
ownership of some objects, you have to do it separately.

I see 2 cases:

1.) There is no acl_users within the portal:
If the User Manager has no permission to delete the member, deleteMember 
will do nothing and return 0.

2.) There is a second acl_users outside the portal:
This is not well supported in CMF. DeleteMember will do nothing if the 
member is not in the first acl_users and return 0.

CMFLDAP has to handle that. CMFCore just works with normal acl_users.


Other ideas are welcome.
