[Zope-dev] Moving forward on Zope 2.6

[Florent Guillaume]

I'm trying to wrap my mind around what you call workgroups.
By the way, have you reviewed the use cases for workgroups that I put in
http://www.zope.org/Members/nuxeo/Products/NuxUserGroups/README.txt ?

No no no ! With NUG the Roles added to a group are still added at the
local role level, which means that the 'bosses' group only has a Boss
role where you want it. Besides in the current NUG I don't yet have a
way to assign a global Role to a group (this can be added later anyway,
the current model is all that we needed, and the implementation is
flexible enough to permit it later).

I really think that my model can be used for what you do.

Thanks. But I insist that "my" groups are nearly the same as "your" workgroups.
