[Zope-CMF] 'portal_metadata' tool in CVS

[Tres Seaver]

For those not subscribed to the 'cmf-checkins' list, I have just
checked in an initial implementation of my 'portal_metadata'
proposal, found originally on the dogbowl:

  http://cmf.zope.org/rqmts/proposals/metadata_tool

This tool allows the site manager to configure policies for
each "writeable" Dublin Core element, with knobs for both
"default" and type-specific settings.

Remaining TODO's:

 * Wire up the construction methods to call 'setInitialMetadata'
   after creating new content objects.

 * Wire up metadata editing methods to call 'validateMetadata'.

 * Add knobs for configuring the metadata elements managed by
   the tool (currently hardwired to Title, Description, Subject,
   Format, Language, and Rights).

 * Add a view which allows configuration of all elements for
   a given type (currently, shows only "all types for a given
   element.")

In the meanwhile, I'd ask the bold to play with this, and let
me know how you feel about the ZMI UI, in particular.  We have
several tasks in hand which need to add / tweak ZMI interfaces
for tools / content, so I'd like to know my approach is decent.

Tres.
