This touches on the #1 thing I would like to see in the CMF:

Permissions for each content type, so you can restrict it so that only  
Managers can add MessageBoards, and one type (role) of user can only add  
Documents, while another can add Documents, Events and Images - as an  
example.

I know little about the internals of CMF in this matter, but I've noticed  
that there's only a generic "Add portal content" permission.

How hard would this be to fix in CMF 1.5 or 1.6?
