Hi Ulrich,
just one comment to your module (unfortunetaly I cannot use it for my
own pages since I have some very special requirements that don't fit
with a general purpose module like yours, so I'm developing my own
modules):

In your FAQ section ( on
http://www.rueth.info/articlemanagement-documentation/opencms6/article_0005.html )

you write how a user of your module has to edit the
webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/config/opencms-workplace.xml and the
webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/config/opencms-vfs.xml file to have the icons in
the workspace.

As I found out by looking on the opencms-sourcecode and looking in the
demo-pages: These ressourcetype definitions can be done by the module
itself, so that a user doesn't have to do such 'dirty' work.

Alex confirmed this fact in a reply to my question on this list.
So this could be an action point for the next version of your module.

( see the following mails for further information on this topic:
* 
OpenCMS 6.0 : Is it possible to add a new (xml-)contenttype only by
importing a module

* 
[opencms-dev] OCMS6.0alpha3: create new ressourcetypes for xmlcontent -
common practice or howto?

* 

[opencms-dev] Hint: Upgrading
modules containing ressourcetype
definitions from 6.0beta1 to current
CVS version

*

ciao,
Manfred
