Mr. Smith, I only mentioned Generations as our way of allowing a specific version to 
have separate permissions not something I think is needed in Slide.

Michael,

This sounds fairly reasonable. My suggestions before were not intended 
as a "this is the way it should work", but more intended as a way to 
spark some discussion of the possible approaches - looks like it worked :-)

The "generations" stuff looks interesting - but somewhat unrelated. I 
think we can (should) probably implement just 1 & 2 initially.

Mike
