Hi,
I think the functionality that you're after could be covered by creative use of hook_node_grants, node_access_grants and your own user access system in OG user roles.
Here is where I bump into my Drupal ignorance. I thought (and please excuse my misuse of terminology) node grants and node permissions were different. By node grants I mean "grant_list", "grant_view", "grant_update", "grant_delete". By node permissions, I mean "create_node_content", "edit_node_content", "administer_module", etc... Now, if it's possible to create a mechanism that adds the correct user access roles within OG, then it sounds like that's the way I should go.
I myself have found much of the OG functionality lacking, and would be interested in helping to write these features if you wanted.
Yes, very interested.
Core modifications are really not needed, but would indeed save a lot of work!
For example, on OG, this is the user_access check to determine whether to display a create content link: node_access('create', $type->type)) node_access, as you know, calls user_access. Theoretically, you are saying that it's possible to create a user access function in OG that would override or append to the Drupal core user access function? -ron
