[Zope] [FEATURE REQUEST] Improving Zope's management interface

[Peter Bengtsson]

The usability of your interface enhancements suck! ...but I would probably
install them :)

"Clicking on "Ed" reloads the current edit page. Clicking on "it" opens the
full screen editing window."
-- eerrk! Very tricky.

I use the ZMI a lot, and I like you make little interface changes that helps
me. I also have the time and patience of learning a zen of using the
interface. I don't have patience or time to learn a new interface at
Amazon.com because I selldomly go there and it's not my work environment.

My main concern is for beginners (of Zope) and when you share an install
with more Z people.
So it has to be possible to _skin_ the ZMI in some way. Just like you can
with KDE for Linux. You can change the Look&Feel for _your_ user account, so
that different users have different icons on their desktop etc.
Would it not be possible to do something like this in the future for Zope. I
ask especially the DC folks who know more of Z's future.
