There is no such collection available, other than the mailing list. And I
hardly ever see any remarks about the UI. The internal workings of ZOpe pose
more problems... =)

I think that the various alternative interaces for the NT File System
security might be interesting. I think the Zope Security UI is almost as
limited as that interface, and there are quite some alternatives on the
market. Sorry, no URLs just now..

It would be great if you could do some research and share your ideas with
us.

PS. Could you keep the conversation on the mailinglist? Thanks!
