taxonomy access control

I'm straggling with a conflict for controlling permission access on node base and on field base.

Today at the pre-camp meetup we talked about keeping in touch regarding our current projects in our individual departments... so, for anyone interested, here's what I'm up to at the Department of Family Medicine:

Hi drupal !

I'm posting here to request a review of a module i'd just coded and that i would
like to submit on drupal.org. Before doing this, i would like someone to review
my module. Even if i'm pretty confident with my code which i've been testing for last
2 weeks, i would prefer others' advice.

About the module :
This module provides taxonomy based user control for user but unlike modules already
available on drupal.org with inheritance notion. For more information please read the
README (available below).

Thank you by advance.

Code is available here on github : http://github.com/baloo/taxonomy-access-user
Or as a tgz : http://github.com/baloo/taxonomy-access-user/tarball/master

First off, if "Introduction" based discussions are off-topic, I do apologize.

Im a San Berdoo Mountain user who is rather new to Drupal. Had looked at it off and on throughout the last year or so. Now I have a project that will be perfect for Drupal -- a company site with a non-buy, product catalog. I been looking around but there are so many modules it is overwhelming. Not sure where to start but I'll get the hang of it.

Anyhow, It will be a pleasure to meet all of you....er....looks outside at the snow Once my car is accessible

I've posted this in the Drupal Forums, but want to post it here as well.

As you know, I created patches to the node, og, and taxonomy_access modules which allow them to work together: http://groups.drupal.org/node/3700

What I want to do now is start removing some of these patches by putting the functionality I need into one separate module.

I am reporting some findings that I hope will help others who decide to try any access control module currently available to Drupal 5.1 or earlier.

Some of the discussions from before about which access method to use led me to doing some research into this question. Here are my findings:

Based on that, I think Forum Access is the way to go, since it is specifically tailored to our task. People with more advanced needs can drop in another solution.
