[Fwd: hiearchical acl's in the wiki]

[Karsten Wade]

This resolves some of our ACLs issue, the biggest part of it.

We get an admin to establish separate #acls for Docs/ and Docs/Drafts,
and the children inherit them.  *whew*

During all this, I considered if we even want an ACL for Docs/Drafts/.
If we don't, anyone with EditGroup can start a draft document.  The ToC
at Docs/ that includes draft content need only include documents who's
writers have Done The Right Thing.

Some more information:

Hi Everyone,
 I added in the hierarchical ACLs patch for MoinMoin to the instance on
fedoraproject.org.

This means if you add an acl to a page then any page which is a falls
below that location in the tree will also have that acl unless that
specific page is set otherwise.

An Example:
 if http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras Has an acl that allows people
from ExtrasGroup to read and write to it, but not to delete or revert
and you made
    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/HowToUse Then HowToUse would
have the same acls as Extras.

I used this diff:
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HierachicalAccessControlList?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=inherit-parent-acl.diff
more or less.
