[Zope-PTK] How can I override ActionsTool

[Jens Vagelpohl]

robert,

there is a proposal on the table to add a management tab to the actions tool
that can be used to select or unselect actions that are exposed by the
actions tool itself (as opposed to e.g. actions that are exposed by a
content item)., as long as it makes sense to enable or disable them. this
configurability would include the "join" action link.

i'm basically waiting for the go-ahead from the right people.
