Hi all

Why do I see actions here:

  .../portal_types/<MyContentType>/manage_editActionsForm

that I don't see here:

  .../portal_actions/manage_editActionsForm

? What exactly is the relation between the "Actions" tab of
'portal_actions', the "Actions" tab of 'portal_types' (currently
empty; what would fill it?) and the "Actions" tab of a specific
type?

Why is 'portal_types' mentioned here:

  .../portal_actions/manage_overview

("These actions are drawn from several sources: [...]
     * the types tool, for actions which are specific to a given
       content type."
) while is does not feature here:

  .../portal_actions/manage_actionProviders

? The other "Action Providers", and more, all feature on
manage_actionProviders. Shouldn't there be a note on
manage_overview mentioning that the list presented there is
not exhaustive, but merely an example?

Should I file a Collector issue on this?
