    Basically, Bukkit is a pain to operate/make plugins for. This means that nothing is centralised - there is no standard permissions, groups system. What is the reason for this? I don't see why a developer has to worry about making hundreds of versions to satisfy some particular users who request a version that uses a different permissions system. And if they don't, they end up having hundredsd of permission plugins installed.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think the main reason it the complexity and manpower...

    I'd say the main reason is that bukkit is not yet complete.

    I wouldn't say it is either hard or it is a big job. I could make my own system in like 15 minutes.

    Then please do, if it is better than bukkit I'll gladly use it!

    What, you were talking about bukkit itself? Ha ha.

    I am talking about a simple feature that can be coded in 15 minutes or even less.

    What feature then? Permissions?

    You and everybody else. Thus, bukkit is not centralized.

    Yeah... It would be much more convenient.

    Again, if you can write them in a few minutes, please do. It will be much appreciated.

    How does you writing your own version fix the problem of bukkit not being centralised?
    Surely that just makes it worse...

    Exactly. That is why I am not. I am just stating that the development team could make a default permissions system.

    They are. There's a thread about it in the dev forum, but you can't get on that alas. Otherwise I would link you.

    Just to summarise what the thread says, they have permissions done already (and have done for weeks now). The problem is with pesistently storing data. (Which is what this thread is about: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/persistence-what-would-you-use-it-or-need-it-for.4431/)
    Once they have a system for that in place, they will plug their finished permissions system into it and all will be happy and well.

    For details on the permissions:

    (and there's a fork on github with all the code in somewhere)
