Re: [Taskforest-discuss] I would like your opinion on features planned for TaskForest 1.38

It's a good idea; but I don't see it as something that would improve the local application that is based on Task Forest.  The only folks that pay any attention to the TF website are the few that administer the application, so we'd all be defined into one role anyway.

Subject: [Taskforest-discuss] I would like your opinion on features planned     for TaskForest 1.38

Hello everyone.

I have one quick announcement I would like to get out of the way first:

I've modified the taskforest.com<http://taskforest.com> website a bit.  It now includes an RSS feed.  I plan on posting news and entries pertaining to job scheduling and TaskForest on that feed.  The location of the feed is http://www.taskforest.com/feed.xml - if you would like to subscribe to it.

Now on to the main reason for this email:

I'm planning on releasing version 1.38 in a week or two.  The main addition in this release will be support for 'roles' for the taskforest website.  A user who authenticates into the TaskForest website can be a member of one or more roles.  Each role can have specific permissions for reading and writing family files, reading and writing job files, and performing actions on jobs (rerun, mark, hold and release).  I'm sorting out the config file syntax right now.  My question is: Is this something that you think you would like to see sooner rather than later?

Thanks,

Aijaz.
