Hey Matt,

I'd be happy to help you with this. I think it would be *much* easier
to figure out sitting down in person. Would you like to get together
at the Platform Rally so we can sort it out?

fit Ubuntu's needs, and to file some better, more specific bugs about
how we can make the permissions, roles etc more self-explanatory.
