Blueprint changed by Christopher Adams:
Whiteboard changed:
The two basic user levels are:
Admin - total control of the site, including Aiki admin and db access
User - profile page, settings page, font upload, comments, etc.
In addition there are Visitors who have no permission level, but can see
everything that does not require User permissions or above.
Now in addition to these two levels, there are a number of other levels that
may be useful at some point:
Managers - can manage user accounts (create, delete, view stats, etc.)
- Curators - can manage, clean up font content, create font collections,
write blog posts, etc.
+ Librarians - can manage, clean up font content, create font collections,
write blog posts, etc.
Foundries - maybe some category for clearly qualified designers, or real
foundries
My recommendation at some point would be to create a category of
- Curators who can manage the site (users, fonts, blog posts) but without
- needing direct access to the Aiki admin panel or the database. It might
- be good to aim for this by version 0.3.
+ Librarians who can manage the site (users, fonts, blog posts) but
+ without needing direct access to the Aiki admin panel or the database.
+ It might be good to aim for this by version 0.3.
Users could also be assigned a more incisive descriptor, such as
"Members."
For reference, the original Open Font Library community had 5 roles of
increasing power:
Font users
Font developers
Site contributors
Site developers
Site administrators

The site needs the right set of user levels and permissions
