hi Guido,

i might not be at sorrento, but i can still give it a look and (if you want)
give you back some comments.

we can also talk to me about how to work on javascript which should (hopefully)
at some point be part of plone 5, while still be avaliable as an addon for
plone 4.3 (like plone.app.widgets/wildcard.foldercontents). it means you need
to get your javascript into mockup which you must reach some level of
code quality.

while tiles and work on them is planned for mockup, you must know why it was
posponed until later. if there are no widgets which work in modal then any tile
solution is pointless. that's why work on widgets got priority and is till
under heavy work.

if you ping me on irc we can arrange some hangout for later this week.
