Hi,

I was looking for some Python-based CMS which could replace WordPress. 
Somebody pointed me to Mezzanine and it looks very promissing. I wouldl 
like to implement a system to provide additional content for participants 
of seminars. So I would like to create a page per seminar and would like to 
add files to those pages. Regarding this use case, I have some questions:

- The files do not need any processing on the server: No calculation of 
thumbnails, video encoding, ... but the files are rather big (50-250MB). I 
would like to let Nginx take care of handling the files 
(http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpUploadModule), so the files are not going 
through the uwsgi stack and will be stored in the file system instead of 
the database. Is there already something like that, which I at least could 
take as a starting point?

- I would like to restrict access to the files via their containing page 
object. So a user which was granted access to the seminar (-> page) should 
also be allowed to access the files. That should be possible, but some 
guidance to get started would be very appreciated. I have some basic 
knowledge of Django, but I don't get yet whether this is handled on the 
Django level or inside Mezzanine?!

cheers,
Achim
