Regions/page tamplating made easier?
By browsing the web, I found this screencast of a "new CMS", named LightCMS. While it's not as flexible and has less features the way of "building a page layout" is extremely easy to use, and very nice to include in some way into Drupal. So, perhaps some people should look at this: http://www.speaklight.com/video-your-designs Best regards, Stefan

Aside from a intuitive GUI, I don't really see what can't be done in drupal with blocks? Sure, they have in-CMS editing of your templates, but who really wants to do that?

Who wants user-friendly interfaces anyway ?

Do not fall into the trap of assuming that in-CMS editing of templates == "user-friendly interface". If you're doing anything even remotely interesting with a template or code, an HTML textarea is a horribly unfriendly interface. Even Notepad is better in most cases. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
+1 to that. Not only is it an unfriendly interface for someone who actually wants to edit the code; imagine what would happen if a non-technical user would start to make changes. Very strange things could happen. Erika Nilsson 2008/3/27, Larry Garfield <larry@garfieldtech.com>:

No one. ;p The look and feel is similar to a MS product for information sharing. But, blocks, panels, views and jQuery with AHAH forms should be able to do it if your interested in creating a module for it. Earnie -- http://for-my-kids.com/ -- http://give-me-an-offer.com/
