Do not want to offend anyone, for work of everyone is greatly appreciated... but... As a theme developer I got sick and tired of fighting with "admin" functions in View mode... overlays, dialogs, functions not related to content consumption... I suggest we dump all these "quick" attempts to create patches in content management system and replace it all together with one unified system. Instead let's divide and conquer. PS: 1. this requires modern state of the JS and jQuery, so may not apply to core G3 themes. Hopefully it may trigger a desire to change mentality of some and move us gradually forward... Ideas: * HTML 5 - oh come on, everyone is in 21 century one. many here are arguing that IE is dead... then why not HTML 5 already? Main goal to get true separation of View, Edit and Admin modes of the gallery. Thoughts? Does it make sense? or it is just me? Serge |

I think the general idea is great, but I wonder if it'd be best accomplished by splitting up these ideas into separate targets. I see three overall themes in your list:
To me, the tech update can be done incrementally, although some things like updating jQuery might be a bit disruptive and require a lot of work. As you note, having a dedicated, separate content management mode is the big win, and I'd not like that to depend on the tech update. Separate permissions can come last — right now, the existing permissions can be used. I like the idea of having a separate view for content management, but if it's easier to extend the existing Organize module, that works for me too. |

it is not about the steps but about the wrapping we can keep Wind theme intact, just remove all CMS stuff out of there. no need to touch html 5, jquery, etc. there Serge |
