Looks good. Nice and bright. I can’t really comment on the text. English  
is  
my only language.

I have one of my own to share as well:

As you’re probably aware, we’re working on a documentation project that  
tries to address exactly this problem. Already, for some of the  
extensions, we’ve written up small guides including screenshots and  
usage instructions!

For example, the following:  
[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Copy\_and\_Move](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Copy_and_Move)  
[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Reorder](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Reorder)

Going ahead, we hope hope that you’ll be able to use your experience to  
add to it. That way, it’ll become a very useful resource for all.

Thanks  
Mohit.

Since this behavior is pretty specific to your client’s needs, you may  
want  
to build upon the  
RBAC[http://github.com/saturnflyer/radiant-rbac-base-extension/tree/master](http://github.com/saturnflyer/radiant-rbac-base-extension/tree/master)extension.  
I couldn’t find any other extensions which build off of RBAC, but  
maybe Jim has some examples.

And, BTW, the user model already has two roles: Administrator and  
Developer.  
Your suggestion would apply to users who are neither admins nor devs.

I also have an extension that builds on the Radiant User model to  
allow for site registration and creation of a site profile. I had  
forgotten about the RBAC extension, so I may want to go back and look  
at that:

[GitHub - farra/radiant-members-extension: Extends the Radiant user model to support site members](http://github.com/farra/radiant-members-extension/tree/master)
