[Zope3-dev] seaside ideas (Re: Brainstorming page architecture, pagelets, portlets, etc.)

That was my question also. :) Sounds good.

I've been wanting to post these links as additional food for thought. 
They're from seaside, the squeak-based web app system.

Here's a simple app, a short presentation: 
http://seaside.joyful.com/seaside/presentation

Now here's the seaside management interface:
http://seaside.joyful.com/seaside/config . The login, for now, is admin, x.

Then click on the presentation app. This time you should see a manager 
toolbar at the bottom. Try clicking these things, eg toggle halos. That 
shows how the page is built up from objects, each rendering its own 
markup. Click on the halo icons as well; you can browse (and change) the 
code, css, etc.

Back up at top level (/config): it doesn't provide the strong placeful 
folder metaphor as zope, but configurations work like zope folders with 
properties set on them I think.

There's some appealing simplicity here! I found it interesting.
