I want to extend our Drupal site to manage content and its visibility around projects. Projects can contain sub projects which can contain sub projects ...

Each user can belong to one or more projects and will be able to see everything related to these projects and all their sub-projects.

I saw some discussion on complex "Permissions control - requirements" (http://drupal.org/node/5618) but it seems that this or similar effort haven't shown up in the code base. I did however mention the use of taxonomies. It looks like a bit a miss-use of taxonomies, but it has the hierarchy.

Can Drupal now already do something like this? If not, has there been other discussions on that topic and what would it take to do that.

I have some development resources and before we build something on top of other platforms I thought it may be faster to just stretch Drupal a bit.

Thanks,

Taxonomy_access control may be what you are looking for, going by your description. I haven't used it myself, though.
