[opencms-dev] Feedback requested for current CVS HEAD version

[Joachim Arrasz]

Hello,

> * Large parts of the OpenCms workplace have been rewritten
>  in JSP, adding new features and much improved usability

this is very good news. Is there a taglib used for the old features of the
proprietary XML-Templating? Well i will have a look on it.
> * Resource permissions in the VFS are
>  now managed in ACLs instead of Unix - style

Have you used a Framework like Flux for this? This will be very nice and
one more approach to try integration TURBINE for us :-)
> * Multiple websites can now be
>  managed in one OpenCms installation

When im logged in as Admin i see only the resources for my website but
when im logged in as root is see all ? Something like a mandatorship?
> * Support for multi-language versions of the same page

this is pretty nice!

> * Implements a "Direct Edit" feature that allows
>  users to open the editor directly from the website
>  with an "Edit" button on the page

oh we did this in a testscenario as well. Hm, is it possible to think
about an integration from the Kafenio WYSIWYG Editorfrom xeinfach.de. This editor is as well under GPL !

oh this will make it much more easy to integrate the above spoken editor!

Which features you think about? Is there a roadmap or a plan for people
who wants to help you? At Synyx oHG we have little time left in March
actually. So it`s possible to realize some features or help on
realization.

This evening i will check out the HEAD and build it, play a little around
