They should be listed on the principals screen if you go into 'List
Users' and then click on the principal you're interested in, you should
see a list of the grants. that principal has made.

I'm afraid I'm on the core organising team for linux.conf.au and so for
the next two weeks that's pretty much my whole life... as it has been
for quite a while already, but with 600 geeks descending on Wellington
next week things are really starting to get busy now!
There are a bunch of changes committed to Git already towards 0.9.8.1
and there will be some more, and then I'll release it as soon as
possible. Certainly I'm hoping it will be back on track to be
releasable to a wider audience.
I was aware of the limitations of 0.9.8 in terms of some limitations in
the web maintenance side of things, but I felt I had to release it
partly in order to uncover worse omissions, and so others could also be
developing against the new permissions model, which is a huge change
internally.
From my POV critical things that I need to fix before I can release
0.9.8.1 are:
* need to be able to edit principals through the web interface without
having to be an administrator who can do anything.
* the javascript on the edit collection screen needs to be fixed to
properly toggle what is editable for a calendar collection.
* functionality to delete a principal
* functionality to delete a collection
* functionality to create a collection from a (possibly empty) uploaded
iCalendar file
Anyone who wants to send me a patch for that second one, in particular,
would make me very happy, since javascript is something I don't
generally write much of :-)
The last three should be pretty easy - I just always forget people like
to delete records, since my preference is for marking them as inactive
and leaving them in the database. The first one is the one I need to
spend time thinking hard about.
There's a little more in the TODO file that would be nice, but if I had
those two resolved I think I'd release with all the other changes I've
already committed.
Cheers,
Andrew.
PS. If someone feels like adding this to the pre-release notes for
0.9.8.1 on the wiki then I'd be grateful there too... :-)
