Thanks Richard for sharing you experience with us. Sharooz and Richard-- 
have either of you tried podpress on a per-blog basis instead of 
system-wide? Some code will still probably need to be changed. To look at 
what code might need to be changed, look at the diff here:

(yes i know the hashcash port doesn't really work right now... but i think 
that code will give you some ideas of what to change. it's not the 
greatest help because there aren't any sql changes if i remember 
correctly, and i think podpress will need some sql changes)

Regarding global roles: that would be pretty antithetical to the entire 
Lyceum architecture. Lyceum is meant to be a blogging services system, 
with the potential for custom cross-blog features.
