Description

Hopefully we can get a proper ACL editor for 3.0 - and also store the ACLs in page metadata.

Initial proposal: We could store the ACLs under a multi-valued String attribute "wiki:acl", with each Value having an string "ALLOW <id> <permission>". Questions: is this too slow to parse? I would rather stay away from serialization, it may take it difficult to access the repo later on with alternative tools.
