This is an important principle for toolkits.</font></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This....</div><br><blockquote><div>Then maybe the connector pages should be withdrawn from the XOT release until we have a common approach to the pages and resolved the navigation options. </div></blockquote><br><div>And this are two sides of the same coin</div><div><br></div><div>People need to be able to know their contributions are worthwhile else they won't contribute. Part of 1.9 is making it more modular, but also 1.9 is all me so far and for all I know it'll get thrown away. </div><div><br></div><div>But we fix this with a road map and modularisation. You want to mess the site up, go ahead. But out of the box is this.</div><div><br></div><div>As a side point, the XOT Wordpress plugin gets about 100 downloads a month and I support that all by myself.</div><div><br></div><div>I.e with modularisation we can decentralise code and the project. Every Drupal install uses views but it is optional. Page connectors could be the same - just support the addition of them, and let them work in their own way</div><br>
