I'm trying to get completed tasks checked for verification by a few users that my site will select at random. This allows peer-driven job-checking with no management authority needed! So the system will need to be able to create a role for a specific instance of content - in this case job-checkers for each completed job - and it would need to be able to assign that role to, say, three to five users. This way not just _anybody_ can say that a job was truly done, and that prevents online fraud. It would be great to be able to select from a list - in this case, a list of users - at random. And then have an action to assign roles to them, temporarily or permanently. So if the system picks three users to confirm that a job is done, and they don't respond... a week later three other people get that role. If they give different responses, the system tries verification again with different users. When a job is finally verified, the system pays the user who completed it. And hey presto - a system to distribute small tasks for big projects online to anyone, with nobody able to mess it all up with online fraud, even a project manager! All it would take is a Random-selection ability, and the ability to autogenerate roles for specific content instances and assign them out temporarily.

Heya I've been working with the ubercart team, and this is a feature dearly needed for D6 conversion. I'd love to see rules work as simple as they do with the magento ecommerce system. Take a look at the admin utility here: http://demo-admin.magentocommerce.com/index.php/admin/promo_catalog/ When logged in, click on one of the rules and look at how they put in conditions and actions. This seems to make the most sense from a UI sense. Is any part of the rules engine in CVS yet? I haven't seen it posted yet. ~Jakob
