Hi

Because normal webmasters are not generally
TypoScript specialist and it is sometimes hard
to find documentation how to setup config it
would be very nice, if there would be andvanced
TS Config in a separate page,
where could be checkboxes for each option.
Saving setting could generate TypoScript.

For example
Frontend editing

[] Enable edit icons
[] Enable admin panel
	[] hide admin panel
	[] enable all features
	Enable selected features
		[] enable edit
	[] disable using pop-up windows
	...

[]Enable edit panel
	[] enable extra toolbar for edit panel
		[] enable history
		...
	[] enable edit

Backend editing option
[] Disable big buttons in the 'columns' view of the standard page module
[] Disable ... in the 'columns' view of the standard page module
...

An addition field for special TypoScript config
might be needed, because autogenerated TypoScript
might not do everything.

the format of the autogerated TypoScript could be for example

/******* FRONTEND EDITING ********/
/*                              */

admPanel.enable.edit=1
...


/******* BACKEND EDITING ********/
/*                              */
mod.web_layout.disableBigButtons=1
...

In that mode automatic generation of Typo Script could be quite easy to 
write because curly brackets are not generated.

BTW. I got fully satisfactory frontend editing using the standard page 
module. I just need to edit some core file to get desired control.
Just 'move up', 'move down', 'hide' and 'delete' didn't work
but they are not necessary features in frontend editing.
The total estimation is about 9-9½/10.

Because I regard that CMS should be as userfriendly as possible I'm 
interesting about frontend editing and easy ways to customize the CMS.
We should try to think an average webmasters and normal users of CMS.

You might regard me just annoying but I just want to get constructive 
discussing concerning userfrienliness-related features.
