[Neos] UI sketches for edit/preview

It depends greatly on what type of project and organization you speak of. To some, you're totally right - to larger organizations that deliver content to many many different platforms, they are much more used to authoring abstraction.

Better preview is a common goal for us, I think. But it needs to be extremely flexible as the needs of our clients and users are so extremely different. 

> and actually that wasn't even my point... my point was that every mode should have the possibility to edit. The editor should not care what is actually done behind the curtain as long as it changes what he wants to change :p [see google example, no need to go back from a "preview" to edit page properties -> meta data...]

I'm currently gathering input from many different sources about this. Thanks a huge bunch for sharing your view about it. I will take this further in the process. Making the distance between editing and previewing as small as possible is important - so I'll definitely take your input into it.

Don't hesitate to comment more about this! 

Best,
Rasmus
