Making the Content manager ui more useful
I would like to ask you about some additions to the ui of the Content
Management application, to make it more useful and integrated with the
other applications.
For example, I would like to add to the Edit Content screens some
subtabs to display and manage information about associated Products,
Parties, WorkEfforts etc... (the same data that is maintained in the
Party, Catalog etc... but seen from the other side, the Content).
The disadvantage is that this will create a dependency from Content to
the business applications, even if this is limited to the ui... but we
already have some other examples of this.
I think this would be a nice thing to have, and in the future if we
want to have a content component separated from the applications, we
may consider to split it into two parts and move one in the framework.
What do you think?
Jacopo

+1, for the moment Content is still an application like others, so why not ?

Everything will forever depend on Content and will become further dependent on it (already there with all of product / category content associations, etc). The current design of just using the content app is really not usable by most people, so adding these features would be a big win IMHO. Thanks Jacopo.
Cheers,
Tim
