Hey everybody,
So I have a large community website that I've just converted to drupal from scoop. I'm planning to use my community members to classify the stories. As such I have an "Admin" role (that's me) and an "Editor" role (sr. members of my community who can be trusted to classify content). "Editors" need to be able to a)modify the taxonomy, and b)edit the node's membership in the taxonomy.
Here's my misunderstanding of the permissions model of drupal: in order to access ANY admin pages, the role must have "access administration pages==true". Within that, finer grained control is provided by 15 or so "administer foo" operations. My Editors have "administor taxonomy" and "administer nodes" set to true. This gives them the permissions that I want them to have, and then some! Not only can they categorize a node according to the taxonomy, they can also revise the document, make it static on the front page or unpublish it from the front page, or disallow user comments.
Has anybody had any experience making something like this work? Is what I'm trying to do possible with the current incarnation of drupals permissions model, or is some hacking going to be required? If the latter, where would I start?

p.s. I'm in general very interested in using my community to generate an IA for the site in a bottom-up fashion. Any links or thoughts on
