Pier Refactorings

Hi, the latest version of Pier includes a few experimental features. I would like to hear your opinion on these: 1. Environments Before environments were a reference to a different page anywhere on your page. One idea was to replace this reference with a document (like the page has one). This allows then to edit the meta-page using the settings and have it close to the page it is applied to. As before, keeping it empty would inherit the environment from the parent. Do you think that improves the usability? 2. Custom Documents Another idea was that an environment (that is independent of the proposal above) can add any number of document (formerly called content widget) widgets. These widgets could then be put for example into a side-bar or the heading to allow customization of these parts of the page as part of the edit process of a structure. Again these 'extra' documents can have default documents and/or be inherited from parent structures. Do you think that would be useful? Do you think 1 is still useful if we have 2? I appreciate any thoughts on this. Of course I already made my own opinion (that you might read between the lines) ... Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
