 * My task was to hack WordPress and make a community blog that had a set of staff
   writers, editors, and contributors who could register themselves. It seems the
   new user roles are pretty intuitive in that sense.
 * But my problem is I had two different sets of users registering to post two different
   kinds of content (it’s a political site, so the two opposing political camps).
 * The two sets of contributors are separated by user level 2 and 3, except obviously
   I didn’t let level 3 edit 2. To separate their content I used categories – User
   level 3 could only post to Category 18 for instance, and User level 2 to 19 –
   all other categories were reserved for staff.
 * My question is a theoretical one – is there a way to achieve something similar
   with the new roles set up thingee? My logic is failing me 🙂 maybe someone else
   has ideas? Because clearly I can’t assign contributors to one set of users, and
   say authors to others, because permissions on things are different.
 * I’m not complaining, got to move with the times, but I’m really pulling hairs
   here because I badly want to upgrade
