[TYPO3-core] Thinking about a lightweight backend - what do you think?

[Anja Leichsenring]

Hi there,

after Thomas had an editors backend in mind, as far as I understood, 
would it be possible to have a backend usergroup available from start, 
that provides only the rights to DRUG pages/contents in the most easy 
form? So we don't need a whole neu backend theme, but have an editors 
backend - colorful and shiny - available without much effort for the admin.

There could be a button somewhere in the backend to toggle the change, 
and the functionality is already there - it is the "login as be-user" 
from the user admin.

Would be a great help for demonstrate the backend, thats for sure.

Greetings
Anja
