Can't we make a "channels.php" backend for this?

While I suppose I could live with this for now, and it is probably better than just letting anyone write channels, most of us need something in between. As a University, we want to let our secretaries and/or grad students be the authors of channels, but we certainly don't really want to give them Horde admin status if we can avoid it. In the long run, some kind of permission setup would be great. Another way would be to create a jonah admin, like horde admin, in the jonah config files. This would be a list of users who are jonah admins (can do updates, create channels, etc). Obviously you would want to allow Horde admins to do these as well as jonah admins. But having two lists would be a good compromise... > the implications following all of this: > - any channels listed in the /config/channels.php file will need to be moved > to > the backend (any offers for a quick script to do this? i'll try and get to it > myself otherwise) How do we manage updates to the channels provided with jonah then?
