I am not sure to get this right, the "CMS server" is already quite independent (it is JackRabbit) with a homebrew Hibernate storage.
This could be interesting to discuss over the phone during a conf call. I am not even sure you and jewhit are talking about the exact same thing. Please email me if you are interested by a call, same for jewhit.

Ok, the underlying thing is to add the notion of group i guess (on top of user/role), we already talked about it and it is something that we need to allow.
