Hey David,

I'm wondering how the 2.1.0 install is going to work for a Windows  
user without admin rights, since the 2.0.0 Module Manager downloads  
modules into the Kepler application directory. I wasn't following that  
thread of work closely, so maybe I missed something. I see http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5065 
  is resolved, but 2.0.0 hasn't been patched, so I don't see how these  
users will be able to upgrade without admin rights. Since these users  
had to get admin privileges to install 2.0.0, is the plan we just  
presume they do the same to upgrade to 2.1.0?

Also, in a previous discussion you had mentioned you were going to  
patch 2.0.0 to include some Module Manager changes (I forget which).  
Are you still planning to do this? What was this patch for? Do you  
want to release it before 2.1.0? I'm still trying to target the end of  
this week for 2.1.0 release.

Derik
