| 00:45 | Clarified meaning of EmailAlert (7) in cap ref. ... (check-in: 4aceb600dc user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 00:31 | Merged in trunk changes ... (check-in: 493254b2e7 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 00:21 | Linked to the new material showing Fossil's idea of user power hierarchy from the comment in fossil-v-git.wiki about Fossil's support for the organization's social and power hierarchies. It's not that Fossil has *no* support for enforcing this, it's that it's usually a fairly loose match between the two systems. This is an important point, because some people new to Fossil expect 1:1 mapping and get disappointed when we tell them it just doesn't do that. ...

| 00:17 | Fixed some URLs still referring to admin-v-setup.md in its old location. ... (check-in: 182c4d7abc user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 00:07 | Investigated the use of HTTP for sync over ssh:// and file:// URLs and added what I found to the "Caps Affect Web Interfaces Only" section of the new caps docs. ... (check-in: 845b459439 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |

| 23:33 | Documented Public Pages and the default user capability set in www/caps/index.md. ... (check-in: 4671ddb179 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 23:15 | Moved the discussion about inadvertent attribution of artifacts and the problems with easy solutions to the problem into the implementation details section of the new caps docs and expanded it to cover recent forum discussions. ... (check-in: 78ad8b7496 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 22:42 | Assorted small improvements to top-level caps doc ... (check-in: f21bfbeede user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 22:09 | Expanded the "Why Not Bitfields?" discussion in www/caps/impl.md. Also tweaked the "Capability Letter Choices" text a bit while in there. ... (check-in: 3ac560a2d0 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |

| 20:35 | Moved www/capabilities.md to www/caps/index.md and www/admin-v-setup.md to www/caps/admin-v-setup.md. Then broke three chunks of the old capabilities.md doc out into new www/caps/* docs: login groups, implementation details of user capabilities, and the user capability reference material. The latter switched from Markdown to HTML format so we could make it a clearer-looking table, rather than its prior hard-to-read bullet list form. ... (check-in: c6cdf9ce8e user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 18:04 | Merged most of the new material on Setup vs Admin in the new capabilities doc into the pre-existing admin-v-setup.md doc, which already covers this topic. ... (check-in: ee901c7be3 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 03:56 | Grepped the Fossil source code for C code that checks for Setup caps exclusively to preotect functions and listed those in the Reference section of capablities.md. Also expanded the coverage of the "caps affect Fossil web interfaces only" section, which plays into this. ... (check-in: 689f7683b6 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 01:55 | Rewrote explanation of "o" cap. ... (check-in: 208ca0d713 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 01:40 | Disentangled discussion of "developer" vs "reader" in capabilities.md. ... (check-in: 869494eb8f user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 01:00 | Added (Names) to the "Capability Reference" section of capabilities.md so the reference can be used while reading C source code, which uses these names instead of the capability characters in all code past the login handler. ... (check-in: d48dff8fd7 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |

| 11:49 | Clarified the placement of "moderator" and "subscriber" in the power hierarchy expression within www/capabilities.md, since each could float up and down somewhat within the fixed hierarchy we give here. Also fixed a broken URL. ... (check-in: ba88f4f2a7 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |
| 08:31 | Added www/capabilities.md, a complete treatment on user capabilities, user categories, login groups, and administration matters involving all of this. It does not replace the pre-existing admin-v-setup.md doc, but a bit of its content did move into this new doc. The new doc also contains the user capability info previously in the forum.wiki doc. This is on a branch because although it's quite useful already, it could use some work before being merged down. At the barest minimum, there are some unanswered questions in the new doc that need addressing. This new doc does not replace the existing documentation in the UI. It may be that we end up paring that down a bit now that we have a full doc to refer to, but that is a topic for the forum thread that will appear shortly after this checkin. ...
