That's good ;-)

We also developed Tramline, which we nicknamed Railroad's little sister:

This has been integrated into Plone, more recently than Railroad,
although not by us. Two sister companies have worked on it, Netsight
and Pareto:

http://plone.org/products/attramline

At the Plone Snow Sprint in january some work was done by the 'AT Media' people:

Tramline uses the same technique as RR for security, letting
Zope/Plone handle it, but is a lot less overhead. This may be enough
for your use case.

We're using Tramline in a native Zope3 app for doc management:

Good luck, let me know where you end up,
Kit
