2.0 is a ways off--permissions are needed now--you wanna look at this with me?

Hi all,

I'm not very good at this stuff, but I am still working on permissions as I explained before:
setting it up so that CATEGORIES can have users assigned access.

Now,
Let me try to explain this clearly:
You have a big site
You have a calendar & news
You have 1 user who has a calendar on their area: they want to add events, but you don't want them adding events under your category, or deleting events under your category.

You want them just to work in THEIR category.

So the page for events items has a call:

if user == x then display y category

This should be really easy, and I think I can do it myself
but I'd love it if that could be turned on/off on the permissions page with a check box

is anyone pursuing something similar?

Hmm, it's not so easy like it sounds cause there's IMHO no field in database for a "category owner" ...
