[magnolia-dev] Magnolia 4.5 sneak preview !

Hey peeps,

Magnolia developers have been very busy in the last few months putting a new page editing UI together for
4.5. The green bars that we had a love/hate relationship with (don't we all?) have been tamed a little.

We wanted to first write up some of the ideas and intentions behind these changes - those which have been
included in this version that is, keeping in mind the grand scheme of things, where this version is a
stepping stone towards 5.0 - but we figured we might as well just drop it here and now. I'm sure y'all will
have interesting feedback, and the developer team will read and react to your suggestions and questions
as they come.

I'm going to try and not say *too much* about what has changed and what hasn't, but everyone would be grateful
if you took a few minutes of your time to try a snapshot out. In particular, this one bundle here is actually
in a "known state" - we know it works, we know it still has a lot of polishing to do, but we also think this is the
right time to integrate some of your feedback.

You can grab it here: http://hudson.magnolia-cms.com/job/magnolia-bundle_trunk/1925/info.magnolia$magnolia-tomcat-bundle/artifact/info.magnolia/magnolia-tomcat-bundle/4.5-20120209.173147-466/magnolia-4.5-SNAPSHOT-tomcat-bundle.zip

Just a hint (I've just been bitten myself) - to navigate within your site, you might need to switch to preview mode.

In particular, we'd like to hear what you think about the new "experience" of editing a page. Put yourself in
an editor's shoes and tell us what you think, comparing to your 4.4 or prior experience.

I suggest we simply use this thread for feedback, but if you feel more comfortable in private, feel free to
email me at greg at magnolia-cms dot com.

Cheers !
