The 'Facility-Idea'

A facility has a name (like 'Admin', 'Author') and an access-mask like the unix-filesystem (rwx) Facilities are embedded to the user and helper-functions like can_execute?('Admin') will return true or false if the user has this facility.

Next step will be: Models like 'Page' will embed Facilities too in order to support code like this:

  @page.facilities.create(name: 'user one', access: 'rw-')
  if current_user.can_write_on?(@page)
    ...
  end

A Facility can have an array of 'consumer_ids' which points to users. Mean's if the given User is listed in this array this user will be granted with :access rights.

Facility to connect users

A user can embed several facilities with a list of 'consumers'/'friends'. E.g. a user can add a Facility named 'My Friends' with a list of other users. Then, the user can add this Facility to e.g. a Page to grant her friend 'rwx'-access to this page.

Model Page

• A page has a parmalink which is used as a key -> http://..../permalink
• Title and body can be translated using mongoID :localize => true
• Use permalink 'hero' for the "Hero-Page" displayed at the root-path
• Begin permalink with @ will make a page "featured" and displays the page below the hero-page at the root_path.
• Create a page in any language. Save it. Switch language (at the bottom of the screen). Edit the page and translate it.
• Create one page permalinked as 'README' or remove the menu-item from views/layout/application.haml
