Experimentation around a new concept, which makes it possible to have modules with hierarchically structured, accurately regulable permissions and a reworked, easy to use rights management interface.
The original idea comes from Larry "Crell" Garfield, and the project was kicked off as a Google Summer of Code project in 2011 mentored by Károly "ChX" Négyesi.
