So I'm working on building a website that allows users to digitize data
in via a web map. Making a web map that lets people plop points is no
problem. Where I'm getting stuck in researching ideas is the
authentication. I need very tight, fine grained security. User A can
only see/edit group 1 data and user B can see/edit group 2, User C can
see but not edit both group 1 and group 2 etc.

Since I'm not really skilled in other languages and I have a fear of php
security I'm obviously looking for a python solution.

The other big thing is that this is one feature that will need to share
authentication with some larger not even designed system. Most likely
not done by me, and probably not done in python.

Minor detail, would be the want for versioned data entry. I looked at
Geoserver WFS-T versioning plugin, but since geoserver and I don't seem
to be getting along and I have no idea how to secure the layers in
geoserver, I'm thinking not.

What I've got on my short list right now is:
MapFish/pylons
Geodjango

Backend db is probably Postgres so I can do magic with postgis.

I kinda tossed Plone off even though I'm familiar with it, since
primagis is kinda dead and I'm lost on how to use the other stuff Sean
et al have been doing on Zope.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Alex
