As I said yesterday, no problem with that, it is only
that I don't want
to be confronted with more complexity,
with which I, as a "normal" user, cannot do anything yet, because it is
not implemented yet.
I was not aware of already existing authorization-stuff, which is
available for then "end-SmallWiki-user",
if he has an admin-role.
Me, taking a bit the role of a product-manager here, just want to make
sure, that we sell our product...:-)
That means, that everything, which could be seen by an end-user, should
also make some sense to him,
because he can literally "touch" it.
So I guess it would help me to know
- all the responsibilities of a chapter/folder, which I could use as an
admin or normal user,
(even if the UI has to be created yet)
- why I want/need the tree-metaphor (explorer) in my graph-metaphor
(web).

I think that
we will have to have a discussion about the use of
folder because now
when I create a Wiki the first page is a list of links....
Exactly, but I changed the title to "Contents of ..." to make it clear
that this is a folder. I think this is more or less the same as we
have in SWiki.
I understand the concerns of you and Markus, as you like to have
something behaving exactly like SWiki. But I want to have something
that is much more powerful.
As admin you might create folders and add a first page to each of
them. Then you disallow creating folders for users and just hand them
the url to the first page you created. They will have *exactly* the
same feeling as in SWiki or WW and they don't have to know anything
about the internals. I only expect admins to know working with a
(unix-, windows-, ...) filesystem.
So tell me when we can discuss
I don't know when, I am really very busy right now! Every day I get
new exercises to be handed in the next week and I should also prepare
the presentation for Friday. I had no time to do anything for the
presentation yet.
If you think it is very important and we should discuss immediately I
could probably pop-in this evening just after my lectures, but I don't
know yet when these will be finished.
