We have tested podpress both system-wide as well as on a per blog basis.  

Will let you know if and when we find a solution :-)

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:

http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/59

(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.
