just a side note: django-guardian which is listed under General does object based permissions, which is kind of the same topic as this package. would it make sense to add a section called "permissions/roles/groups" or something?

Hi @krystofbe, +1 to including this and +1 for the permissions/roles/groups category. Those would both be welcome.

If you don't mind creating a PR with the changes, I'm happy to quickly approve them.

Hi @jefftriplett.

I added a permissions section in #272, I also added django-rules that I use regularly, hope it's ok to put these two in one PR

@krystofbe works for me. Thank you for the addition!
