[Grok-dev] contentprovider component

[Christian Klinger]

Hi JW,

thanks for your work. The implementation looks fine. But
it the ftests/contentprovider.py it seems to me that there
is more code in it that needed. Maybe you can have a quick look on
this test again.

It seems you want to show some layer integration. But i can't see
the test for it.
