Hi
Yes, i am interested in it. Now i am building a directory (like YIHAW but
running on CMF) for my site using folder (derived from SkinnedFolder)
and I want to store only Link and sub folder item in my folder type.
It is good considering to use metadata for folder and have sub-objects
(Link, sub folder) inherit these metadata from their parent.
