Distributed subject observer pattern with ano-plass and DistributeMe
Asynchronous notification aka publisher/subscriber model is a powerful pattern.

Currently access can be controlled for such entities as: Page Box Navigation item Action Wizard All configuration is done traditionally through ASG (ano-site content management system) which was enriched with two new modules for access control configuration: Ano-Access Configuration and Ano-Access Data. While latter is pretty straightforward, the former requires some explanation. (more…)
