[Zope-PTK] what happened to the wizards?

[Andrew Sawyers]

We discussed this behavior on Monday and all those present agreed that the
current behavior wasn't optimal.
We weren't sure if we should drop them into editing the content or metadata
first, I think Jeffrey's idea to change & edit from the metadata screen is a
good idea.  This will give users the opportunity to put in good metadata and
then moving on to actually adding or creating the content is the logical
step in the process (not having to then select edit).

I do think that we should investigate doing something that a lot of Zope
objects do in the ZMI - On the metadata screen, have a "Change and edit"
button that updates the metadata and then goes to the edit content screen
with a message that the metadata's been updated.
