okay. there are about four plugins provide user/group support for bukkit. I think, it's VERY bad and we need a general system, that can be used by all plugin developers and admins. Any suggestions? Let's work together? I think, we need to cooperate in irc/jabber channel...
IMHO this should rather be provided by Bukkit itself (maybe as a mandatory plugin shipping with it), so that groups/users/ACLs can be used through a generic API inside the SDK. This way it would be easy to set rights for individual plugins (only one interface / config). The plugins themself would have to support the generic rights that come with Bukkit (like "who can use it"), but also could implement new "rights" through an API - for example "right: can use command xyz". I currently lack the time to patch Bukkit myself, but if we can find a few more skilled devs who want to implement such system I would participate
