I would like to add some things to the PropertyManager:
1. mulitple selections should be a list of check-boxes. I don't like the ctrl-click method in the select-box.
2. Would be nice if each property has a second name, which is used for displaying it to the user. This is neccesarry if you have properties with umlauts.
Would be nice to have a new data type, too: dates

If you want to propose new features to Zope, this is not a good place because your ideas will just get lost in the shuffle. Go to the fishbowl on dev.zope.org and write it up and tell ppl about it on the zope-dev mailing list. Proposals are also infinitely more credible if the author is willing to do the implementation. Wish lists, although interesting, usually don't get very far without a lot of lobbying. Specifically, these PropertyManager proposals, although useful, point at an overall lack of flexibility in the system. Rather than "I want property type X", I might suggest an approach like "I want property sheets to have extensible types" might get farther. Zope 3 will most certainly be an opportunity to look at this completely fresh. It doesn't take a long look at the current PropertyManager code, to see that it needs an overhaul 8^). -Casey
