[Zope-dev] SiteAccess improvements

[Lennart Regebro]

I haven't been very deep down into site access things, mainly because I get
confused each time I try to set up a SiteRoot. :-)
So it may be that some of the features I'd like are already availiable, but
that I just didn't know. :-)

Anyway, this is what I would like:

The virtual hosts of Zope is managed from the Control Panel and not from
several objects in several directories. This would mean that if you enter
incorrect information, you don't have to reboot the server with
SUPPRESS_SITEROOT=1 set in the environment to fix the stupid errors you
made, you just go into the Control  Panel and fix it.It also means that a
customer of a web hotel can't fiddle around with his own SiteRoot. God eh?
:-) This Control Panel thingy should also have a possibility to turn on and
off individual virtual host mappings without removing the settings, as well
as a global on/off.

Hope these ideas are useful.
