Hello,

I've been here sitting and thinking a lot about site creation and topic
creation in midcom for normal users.=20

About the sitewizard:
Why not breakdown stuff in it even more, so for example you could build
schemas and getting some standard topics created for you when you run
the sitewizard. Well a company website very often contains similar
information, and a blog well they will contain a lot in common to
really, and a organisation website will contain a lot of similar stuff
to.=20

So for example if I want a selectable schema for company websites I
should be able to specify a selection of templates for it, say that I
run a webhosting service and I have created some standard comapny
websites I would be able to select thoose layouts when I'm say to the
sitewizard that I want to create a company website. Also in the schema I
would be able to specify that I want to create a topic named
"Presentation" that is a de.linkm.taviewer and I want to use the default
database schema for it, and I do want to create a "Contact us" based on
net.nemin.personnel with a customised databaseschema I have created
in /snippets and so on. Also say that I have a list of personnel that
will be added to contact us I can specify that I want to get options for
that in the wizard.
Or maybe I will write a complete schema where I can set up say a major
wikipedia-thing in minutes later. If a customer orders a company
website, well I can create that and maybe add some additonal stuff like
a webshop later on via midcom for them.

In midcom when creating topics it would be nice to have an option where
I could use something like the things I described in sitewizard, in
other words a small wizard that uses some kind of schema where you can
select something like:=20

What do you want to create?
- A blog
- A newspage
- A contact page
- A photogallery=20
- A event section where people can add events
and so on.=20

For example if I do the coding of a blog, I could with for schema do
some questions in the topic creation wizard like "What categorys do you
want to add to your blog?" and so on.=20

This is just some of my thougts, and I would welcome an open discussion
about this :)

Regards
Mattias Stahre
