[Zope-CMF] RFC: Flon functionality ported to CMF?

[Rob Miller]

sidnei has written an excellent product called Flon (i.e. Five for 
Plone) which provides a user interface for examining the Z3 interfaces 
that an object may have, and for assigning marker interfaces to 
particular content instances.  whit morriss has written a PLIP 
(http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/104) which proposes integrating 
this into the Plone core.  this seems to me to be the sort of thing that 
really should live in CMF itself.

Flon is available from codespeak svn: 
http://codespeak.net/svn/z3/Flon/trunk/.  it's currently under the GPL, 
so using this code directly would require enfold to allow CMF to use it 
under a different license.

looking at the code, it doesn't look like there's too much going on 
that's Plone specific.  there is a dependency on the ProxyIndex product, 
however.

assuming licensing and other issues could be worked out, is this 
something that the CMF core would be interested in?
