One thing i appreciated a lot in CPS was the possibility to create different CPS Sites on the same zope instance. In Nuxeo, we have the possibility to have several repositories in which there are several domains. This can be used to make the same sort of thing, but it lacks some important features. In Nuxeo, lots of configuration are common to the whole application :
- types : For some of my apps, i want only some types to be available
- themes : Different services may want to have completely different look & feel
- directories : for some of my applications, i want the ldap groups to be retrieved, for some of my other sites, i want an internal handling of those group etc...
When I think about that, i think that all contributions at the file system level could be possibilities for a specific domain. It should be possible to add several userDirectories, lots of types ..... At the repository level, there should be a configuration service that would store the configuration in the repository to define the directories to use, the available types and why not the themes.
Then a configuration interface would be available at the repository level that could act as a light ZMI giving the possibility to delegate some administrations tasks to non programmers (things like db adress, administration passwords etc...).
This is only an idea that sounds great to me : i know there is lot of work to achieve that, but it would give Nuxeo a lot of flexibility and ease of use.Do
