[TYPO3-dev] De-admin the "Tools" module

[Francois Suter]

Hi all,

This is a follow-up to the thread entitled "RFC: Introducing a "User 
Tools" main module" in this list and the submission "RFC: Feature #6685: 
De-admin the Tools module" in the core list.

The situation so far:

- in the dev-list I asked for comments about the opportunity of 
introducing a new "User Tools" main module to fit BE modules that should 
be accessible not only by admin users, but don't really fit in the 
"User" main module.
- in the resulting discussion, some people agreed with the idea. Others 
proposed unearthing the "Plugins" module. The discussion then seemed to 
move towards the idea of using the Tools module, but remove the 
admin-only restriction.
- since this seemed to be the result of the discussion and that I agreed 
with such a solution to my RFC, I created a patch and submitted the 
change to the core list.
- as of yet, this patch hasn't gathered enough support and Ingo Renner 
said that such a change required more discussion. As discussion is 
suppose to happen in the dev list and not in the core, I'm opening this 
new thread.

So here goes, express yourself on the matter :-)

Cheers
