WebModule? Bleh. I do prefer Module to Application, as Application doesn't make me think "grouping". In Helm, we have both UserGroup and ProjectGroup entities (ProjectGroups are probably near the equivalent of nested Scarab Modules). Gonzalo, I haven't looked at the code yet, but from your description don't see any interfaces for user or project groups (necessary for finer grained permissioning). Is there any particular reason not to include interfaces for these things (preferably ones which do not have to be used if the user's application does not need'em)?
