  ++ Description

++++ Draft specification
+
+We need some sort of CMS to manage the content of the site and to  
make some areas user-editable like the current wiki. We may adopt an  
existing CMS, or we may adapt some of our own existing code. I propose  
that we create a new app similar to Wicked and the old Giapeto app,  
with the following feature list:
+
+* Support for different page content-types (wiki, HTML, rST)
+* a GUI HTML editor for html content pages
+* inline preview (instead of wicked's popup - can just be an overlay)
+* permissions like Wicked
+* implicit or explicit hierarchies based on / as a separator
+* use Horde_Routes for URL management
+* use Rdo for data classes
+* store versions of content like wicked does
+
+++++ Layouts
+* use @ instead of $this-> for shorthand?
+* look at rails layouts
+
+Page Object
+Block
+ - how to return block from driver, inherit Block methods, but also  
inherit Rdo_Base
+Mapper! Mappers are the drivers
+
+
+----
+CMS Suggestion: Add some native support for Horde_Blocks or a new  
kind of widget. That will encourage more people to build Blocks which  
one can integrate into Websites.Currently you only need few lines of  
code but if the CMS is going to be a new app for release, this may  
really push Horde deployment a step forward.See also the CMS module of  
egroupware which allows joomla templates to be used, and easily  
integrates all egroupware apps (but is a bit clumsy)
