In order to improve the usability of forum admin and forum privileges pages, It'd be good to add a lot of text in legend explaining what does mean some options.
Also, we are thinking about to add a simpler way to change options (drop down menus or something, instead of the current textbox), and move the "Grant permission" button to a "Super-advanced" section... due to it goes to a hard page. BTW: I think there is a mess about how is shown the permission hierarchy (for instance... cal_item_create depends on create that depends on forum_moderate, why?? maybe that create should be "forum_create").
We have found a bug about the "Users Can Create New Threads" option when creating or editing a forum (whose solution is not as trivial as it could seem). And another one about the use of "read_private_data" privilege on forums-portlet (.LRN) We are going to talk about that on a separate thread due to its importance.
