Re: Re: WebReports and Plone

Hi all.

I think we should specify even more basic scenario that should be
supported as soon as possible. E.g.

>     Joe kid invites Max dude to look at it by a dialogue accessible on
> the report.

That would be nice but can wait a few months if need be.

In his comments Yishay wrote:

"We need to have a mechanixm that reads the wizard / template structure
from a simple text file. Once that's done, you don't need to be a python
programmer to add a button or change a heading."

I'm not sure this is high priority. If there are only a few templates
then some Plone expert can build them. If there are many and they keep
evolving then what kind of expertise is needed? I'm not so sure that
we'll need lots of templates and easy editing of them.

Best,
