    I have just released an updated Membership component. The Product can be
found here:
http://www.zope.org/Members/tazzzzz/Membership

    This release corrects the problem with replacing an existing UserFolder
acl_users, in addition to a few
other changes. If you have an existing Membership system, you can select
"Membership System" from the
add menu to update the UI methods.

    I'm also trying out a packaging change. I have packaged it using the
Distribution tab, so all you need to do is untar the file. If you want to
make changes to the through the web product (MembershipZ), you should
probably install the .zexp file which is also available.

    Does anyone have feedback on how the user objects are set up? That's the
main reason why I give all of those warnings about future compatibility. If
we can reach agreement on the user objects, then people can be more
comfortable that any data that put in the system will continue to be usable.

    Currently, the password, roles and domains are stored as __ attributes
within the user object. Basically everything else is stored on a
SystemProperties propertysheet within the LoginMember ZClass. Any objections
to this?
