Hi Guido,

I've talked about adding titles to the service_news categories before.  I have 
some other ideas for service_news.  I like that you have hierarchical 
categories.  I've written a hierarchical menu system which I'm using for our 
left navigation menus in zope (yes, and silva) (as well as quicklinks and 
other menu-like things).  

Basically each menu item is a folderish object containing menu items.  This 
makes it really flexible, and easy to generate lists.  Each menu item has a 
set of properties, so if you wanted to have more than just an id and a title 
(e.g. one could specify what publications can use what categories).  I have 
TALES support to determine whether to not display the menu item (and 
children) or not, and it can return  the menu list in a [(depth, item),..] 
format or a more recursive format.  It wouldn't be difficult for me to modify 
this code for use in service_news.

Actually, in silva I've added a tab to folders and publications which allows 
configuration of menus from within silva...

Just a thought; I suppose I'm overloading you with ideas :-)
