[Neos] [UX] Is "Workspace" a too technical term

[Rasmus Skjoldan]

Hey Daniel

Thanks for this input. 

“Content release" doesn’t work for me – I would have no clue how to explain it to an editor. 

Marli mentioned just focusing on the actual workspaces, “draft”, “unpublished” etc. We do need a label for the category, though...

I’ve been thinking about “content rooms”, “zones”, “stages” (implies a workflow). I’m still unsure about and would like to know more about what it technically will be able to support, eventually. This is both for “my personal, unpublished place to work”, for a “Christmas Edition”, for “what’s live” and for a "collaborative content space”, right? 

Are there any other categorically different possible use cases?

Best. Rasmus

In Typo3 CMS, creating a personal workspace for one content editor is an option, but not the default.   In Typo3 CMS, Workspaces are off by default and the administrator turns on the extension and configures it.   In Typo3 NEOS, it isn't clear how to create an additional, non-published, workspace to function as a stage between the private workspace and publication...
