[Dspace-general] Re: Dspace-general Digest, Vol 29, Issue 1

[Jon Ferguson]

Hi Bryce,

We had a good discussion about this at the User group's meeting in 
Cambridge.  At that time it just looked like implementation was a 'bridge 
too far' for the time being.  I have noticed that there has been some 
significant work done lately on Group management (it's in CVS but not yet 
in a standard release at last look).  I don't know if there's been more 
discussion since regarding roles/groups.

Cheers,
Jon
