This screen is available under the "users" directory, e.g.

http://localhost:8080/users

Permissions are currently managed in an XML file=20
(/config/permissions.xml).  This is not as user-friendly as the=20
uPortal-based permissions management available in v1.4; the uPortal=20
groups and permissions services are being separated into a standalone=20
library which a future release of HyperContent will use to regain some=20=

of that flexibility and user-friendliness.

Some documentation on the current setup is available at

http://hypercontent.sourceforge.net/help/project/permissions.html

The Wiki is being used to host sample projects.  We'll be adding some=20
Columbia sites as examples over the next month, but there are already=20
two sites available at

http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/HYP/Web+Site+Archives

Department of Chemistry in particular we actually have to do some work=20=

on before it is ready for HC2; it is the only site at Columbia that=20
uses javascript to dynamically generate the site navigation, and thus=20
does not work inside the HC2 frameset.  We will probably be migrating=20
it to use hidden divs instead of dynamically added objects.

I've been taking a break for the holidays here, but I will return to=20
documentation next week.  I hope to have it complete within the next=20
month, but that may be optimistic since I have other projects on my=20
plate right now.  I plan to incrementally publish new bits to

http://hypercontent.sourceforge.net/help

I18n is supported at the level of screens, metadata and content, but=20
you are right that extended characters will not currently work in file=20=

names.  HTTP URLs do not support unencoded characters outside the basic=20=

7-bit ASCII set, so supporting I18n at the file name level would=20
require very careful encoding/decoding of those file names.  If you=20
would like to see this feature added to a future version, please=20
register it as a feature request in Jira.

Cheers,
