That would be great, user roles would be a definite enhancement.

This started when I first decided to provide a code repository for my
student's assignments. My university would't pay for any equipment or
software, so I thought a modified gitorious on a server I manage could
be a viable solution. The modifications I had to do were relatively
simple, my goal was to implement some basic privacy similar to what
Turnitin uses (www.turnitin.com) to protect courses. Apart from that,
I have nothing specific in mind, although a lot depends on my
experience in managing Gitcentral.

Regards,

Peter
