I'm working on an application with the following
requirements:

 - Each member of an organization creates a set of
   records (i.e., Midgard topics and articles) that
   he/she owns and controls.

 - Each member maintains a private list of other members
   and grants members on this list (or member-defined groups
   of members) read access to his/her records individually.
   So each record may have a different list of members
   with read permissions.  When a member submits a request
   for a set of records that meet some particular criteria,
   the application would be assemble collections of records 
   from other members' records according to the requester's
   access rights.

As I presently understand Midgard, it would be pretty hard
to do this at present, although I can see in the mailing
list archives that the subject of access control has been
under discussion and there's a reference at

  http://www.midgard-project.org/article/1110.html

to 'possible changes' to allow more flexibility in read
access control.

Any comments on current practice/future plans?

Thanks,
Paul
