is there a timeplan for groups?

@dhague : I agree.

UME integration may have to wait for next year though - right now we are compatible with all Java Servlet engines, and I think this is best for the open source stuff. There is some security/users/roles discussion on the Lift group right now, so it would be good if Lift supported a "plug & play" user/group/role model. UME would then just plug in.

@dhague : this is also a point in this blog - http://www.headshift.com/blog/2008/09/its-like-twitter-but-for.php . If we have UME integration, we have a lot of functionality out-of-the-box that is critical for enterprise sucess (for example integration with corporate LDAPs)

@ewh Of course, with permissions added in, we are already there. Think @lotd , which resends messages sent to it - this is the behaviour desired of a group. UME integration will also offer this at some point, sourcing user, groups & roles from SAP and behaving accordingly.

@dickhirsch @dhague Groups is on the top of my list as well

No groups. We have decided what the functionality will be (just last week) but there has been no time to implement. @dpp 's latest enhancements come close to the server-side implementation though.

Are there groups?
