---------------------------------------------------------

The Slickgrid module is an implementation of the jQuery slickgrid plugin, a

lightening fast JavaScript grid/spreadsheet. It defines a slickgrid view

style, so all data can be output as an editable grid.

The module doesn't check access sufficiently, allowing users to edit and

change field values of nodes they should not have access to change.
