Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] New update system features

[Adam M. <ad...@tu...>]

I like the idea very much, Jeremy. If you're going to give each module
developer access to update his/her package through this update system, I
can see a need for the individual item permissions to get this to work
correctly.  We should start thinking about an elegant solution for this
with the current permissions structure.

+1 Jeremy, let me know if you want some help with design and/or code.
