We ended up building our own module to handle the notion of groups and to manage access control. Each user is granted access to the site via their pubcookie login, and their ability to read/edit/create is managed via the module we wrote. Permissions…
Interesting. So if you have, say 6 people that are allowed to be editors for a particular Drupal site, do you give them that status individually or do you manage it with a group (like LDAP)? And I'm assuming those 6 would sign in through pubcookie a…

Oh oh... it would be very helpful to know what % of mobile phones are Web accessible.. with a data plan. Based on that information, marketing to/with the device would change considerably.
