The primary motivation for this group was to make it so that people could have kplug-site-only accounts and still be capable of managing the site at a deep level (basically, anything aside from installing products and restarting the zope instance.)

Ah ok, makes sense, especially in light of the group issues with inherited users you note below.


couldn't add "gkade" or "jpenix" to any groups, because they would not be listed in any user listing when you're trying to select users to add to a group. Likewise, searching would not turn them up either. Also, I don't like operating with god priveleges all the time, and like having a "normal" user account I can give privileges to in order to test how things work for other people. I'll still use my gkade account for deep architecting/admin work, but for normal work, I'm planning on sticking with "chef". :)

Might be too late, but due to Zope's inheritance you could keep gkade at the Zope top level and also have gkade at the KPLUG site level, even with different passwords if it amuses you. No need to use separate names, unless it helps you be less confused :)


On the note of "not operating with God privileges," doesn't your creation of siteadmins above do the same thing for anyone placed in the group?? ;)

No, SimpleBlog is even worse for use as a multi-author blog system. SimpleBlog is very specifically a single-user getup. Quills is supposed to be capable of multiple users on the same blog, but it just doesn't seem to be there yet. Maybe when it hits 1.0 it'll be more useful. If you want an example of SimpleBlog look at http://unnerving.org/method for mine. The "Archives" folder tree is my own creation just to help me keep the thing sane.

So can we uninstall one of the two from Sparky?
