Thanks Ryan for workflow proposal - I was pinged several times with "you
have acls, could you do xyz for me". I definitely could and was willing
to help but I didn't want to step on someone's head doing wrong thing :).

I'll be more than happy to cover our timezone when needed and with 
workflow in place, I don't have to deny these requests.

As for admin acls, I only touched users once recently for Jan to fix his
acls - is there role that has access to users up to author but not it's
not full admin?

/me will try to make short meeting if scheduled...
