I'm about to jump on a plane and I would like to look at your proposal but I urge you to fully work out the design before you start coding. I agree that the security model that we have is too complicated for most uses and people have either misused it or have been confused. I have no doubt in your ability but please let us debug the design as a group. As with the pipeline Dan and I have made tests and chatted about how it might work but no serious work has been done because we still need to decide exactly how it works. I think that the best thing you could do is present the design in the form of the interfaces (or UML if you prefer) and lets put the design through a couple of use cases. I usually think about Tambora and Jetspeed as my examples. Tambora has relatively simple security needs, but Jetspeeds are somewhat more complicated. I too want to see Turbine 3.x out the door as much as anyone but I think something like the security has to worked out as a group. We obviously have problems with our current model and I think this is because it was primarily implemented by a single person without much feedback during the process. I would like that not to happen again. If you have ideas, throw them into CVS and we can talk about those too at the informal meeting on the 10th @ Collab. -- jvz.
