[Zope-CMF] CMFDecor troubles

[Andrew Sawyers]

Rest assured that support for the DTML based skins won't go away; just my
new look and feel changes are only going in ZPT.  Just consider it an
additional skin.  Bugs I've found will be fixed in the DTML stylesheet as
well.
I've heard we have problems with inegrating very well with FrontPage.  I
forget exactly why, but it has to do with some files it creates outside of
your html files.  If I had it, I would try it out to give a little better
input; anyone up for this?
A final note, I jumped the gun a little bit yesterday about what I had hoped
for the filesystem based ZPT and GUI editors.  It's definately better then
the current CVS checkout, but I had forgotten there will be problems working
off the filesystem with unexpanded macros.  Working through webdav will get
macros expanded; unfortunately other problems will arise.  We're still
working this out....so it's not going to be quite as nice as I predictd at
this point.
