Started implementing a new usecase for collective.ploneboard

Hello,

As you suggested I went through the prototype and tried using it.
To start extending it I wrote some basic usecases.

  Use cases:  As an administrator I can start a new message board.  As an
administrator I can mention categories while making message board.  As an
administrator I can start a new forum/topic.  As an administrator I can
choose categories while making forum/topic.  As an administrator I can
specify maximum number of attachments per comment.  As an administrator I
can specify maximum size per attachment.  As an administrator I can choose
whether to allow user to edit his comment or not.  As an administrator I
can start a new conversation.  As a member I can post my comment/reply on a
conversation.  As a member I can edit my replies/comments, if allowed.  As
a member I can add attachments to my replies/comments, if allowed.  As a
member I can search in a message board.

I started implementing the second one, i.e. to add a text box for
categories when administrator is making a new message board.

To do that I did the following :
> Wrote a simple field in class IMessageBoard in
src/collective/ploneboard/interfaces.py.
 Here is the link : http://pastie.org/8882032

>  Also I added a new paragraph
<p class="documentCategory" tal:content="context/category" />
 to src/collective/ploneboard/browser/messageboard.pt

A new field shows up when adding a new message board. After saving it the
data entered is also on the screen. It worked.

I want to confirm, am I doing it correctly.

Also, I have started feeling a bit more confident after going through your
implementation and Dexterity documentation simultaneously as I now I am
getting a little how things are working :) .

Looking forward to suggestions.

Thanks
Aman Arora
