Archetypes configuration using ZCML

Proposal for inclusion into Products.Archetypes. Otherwise I might
release separately, or drop it altogether.

Now,

I have an implementation that allows you to configure your Archetypes
content using e.g.:

  <five:registerPackage package="." />

  <permission id="type.Add" title="Type: Add type" />

  <at:register
      class=".content.Type"
      permission="type.Add"
      />

Note that with ``at:register``, it's optional to provide a product
name (using ``product`` argument). It defaults to the module name of
the configuration context. This works well.

What happens then is that:

1) The content class is passed to ``atapi.registerType`` on ZCML load.
2) On Zope 2 "initialization", the content class is initialized
automatically (as usual).

Benefits:

1) Avoids cargo-culting

I have used your suggestion. It's arguably much better.

the redirect worked for a few days... but since last weekend it's
failing again:

$ wget http://antiloop.plone.org/download/ZopeVersionControl-0.3.4.tar.gz

Does it rings any bell?

Great!  Thanks Malthe; this sounds like a nice improvement.

+10 here.  The CMF and AT boilerplate have always been way too much.

where the features/roadmap for deco are?

Hi,

Anyone know where the high-level roadmap for of future deco features  
is located?

We are preparing to put in a bid for a largish Intranet project based  
on Plone. Part of what is needed is flexible layouts/dashboards with  
widgets similar to igoogle (dnd etc). I've included some usecases at  
the bottom of this email.

My proposal at the moment centres around creating a new dashboard type  
in plone that would combine aspects of anz.dashboard and  
Products.Collage (and collective.collage.portlets).

A deco based solution would be preferable. I have played around with  
Deco as it is now. I've also found a lot of technical documentation.  
I'm trying to search for the location of a roadmap or documentation  
that tell me how close the final Deco system might fit my requirements.

Specifically I'm looking to answer :-

- Would there be a way to have permissions such that certain users see  
different things. For instance in Collage you can set sharing  
permissions such that certain cells disappear depending on your role/ 
groups. Other cells move up to take up the remaining space. Group  
portlets is another implementation of this idea. Would deco enable this?

- Would there be a way to set roles so that the operations of layout  
can be done without giving that user the ability to edit the tiles,  
and visa versa?

- Would there be a way to lock the location of tiles such that only  
those with permission to unlock could move them. Unlocked tiles can be  
moved by those with normal layout permission but they can't move the  
locked tiles.

- Would be a way of selecting from a list of pre-existing layouts ie  
layout reuse? e.g. A collaboration space layout can be switched to, or  
a simple discussion space layout.

Intranet usecase we're working towards are :-

1. Create folder
2. Select Display and select "default dashboard"
3. Changes view to that similar to anz.dashboard with a default widget  
of summary view
4. Add page - creates page normally. return to folder
5. Click "add widget"
6. popup dialog to browse content of folder (+ others). select page  
that was added, new widget created with contents.
7. Now in layout mode. Widget can be dragged around and resized.
6. Click "done". back to view mode.
7. If you have edit permission for an item then there is always a  
"pencil" icon to edit it.
9. If item is content then you have access to sharing etc. If you  
don't have permission to view it, it's not shown.
10. User clicks "add widget" and selects from list of portlets and  
creates portlet. This can be moved around like any other widget.

Additional
- each widget has a lock icon. clicking lock means it can't be moved  
around. A folder has two new local roles "can layout", "can unlock"
- a layout can be saved as a default view and then becomes available  
via the "display" menu. Locked widgets in a templated layout can't be  
unlocked except in the template.
- User can create content such as discussion forum. If widget or page  
exists that is looking for a particular content that doesn't exist it  
will not show. When it exists it will show up automatically. same was  
as portlets.
- inline edit for content widgets?
