Do you mean on the login screen? If so, that has been changed
to a password field where what is typed is not visible.
Confirmation of password is a good idea, I will definitely add
that. Good eye.

Right now the turbine_root role can do anything, the only
thing that is required is that user plays the role of
turbine_root. This can be changed and I would actually
like to place permissions for the system (and for turbine
apps in general in a file so that roles/permissions don't
have to be hard coded in the base screens/actions).

Yes, paging has definitely been on my mind. Still
thinking about this one.

That's a good idea. In some cases you might want to let
the user edit some of their own information. Easy enough
to make a template.

Totally, this is just the first incaration of the app.
It will definitely improve over the next few days and
I will get it into CVS somewhere today as well.
