One of the things that people seem to want out of a new Indymedia CMS is the ability to have an expanded user login system, with multiple levels of permissions and the ability to edit your own content. I’ve been thinking all day about the fact that user logins can visibly tie people to content, and also do so at the database level.
The good things about an expanded login system are obvious – there is a lot more potential for many people to administer the site, less hassle for admins who always end up doing the “can you fix the typo in my article?” requests, etc. However, there are a few problems as well.
