Hi:

My clients work with a lot of their customers. They would like to use an Instant Outline that is protected. I know VPN would work, but that is not a solution for my client's customers because they don't want to use a VPN client.

I know Userland has private outline because in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/radio-dev/message/5538, Dave says:

Of course privacy is an issue. We still have our private workgroup for
UserLand, but we use it less today than we did a week ago. Will it
completely atrophy? I don't know. I do know this -- when we're working on
deals with other companies, we *have* to do it on the private outline, or
not use the outline for it at all.

My question for the Userlanders and other folks out there using Private Outlines are:

* How does Userland implement their Private Outline? will this be available soon?
* If nothing is available soon, anybody know of a low-tech Instant Outliner solution? I was thinking of perhaps using cookies like members only sites (requires mods to Radio) or something like .htaccess files (better)
* I have heard of Paolo's Shared Outline. If/When this is available will this offer Private Outlines? Anybody else have a Private Outline product in the works.

In the spirit of DIY, I am willing to help develop the code. any pointers on where to start in Radio would be appreciated. Also, my clients can potentially contribute development resources if more are needed.

Thanks for any help anybody can give!
