[TYPO3-hci] FE/BE Forms Library - two wishes

Hello,

But please don't forget that there is still plenty of one-to-many 
communication in the web (websites of organizations, companies, etc). So 
not everybody should edit the conent :)
Web 2.0 is fine, but in my eyes TYPO3 is primarly an CMS - not a wiki.

I guess the problem is somehow discussed a bit (too) technically atm. 
The usability problem with a BE and a FE divided into two parts is some 
kind different:

The user has to put content in a form (BE) and has to imaging what the 
content will look like in FE. That's the problem with the usability.
Not for you and me perhaps, because we are trained and used to it. But 
the novice user or the one, who uses an CMS rarely - he/she isn't 
trained and has his holy problems to imagine what the content will look 
like... while filling out the form and while saving it.

I guess this "problem" has to be solved at first in theoretical view and 
then we should discuss the technical side - or even the programmers 
should do. :)

What one could dream of is some kind of "smart editing", edit the 
content in FE-view, but having all options of the backend (e.g. the page 
tree). So perhaps something like the "view" entry in the menu.

Thats btw the way I know how the major commercial CMS solved it.

Just my 10cent for discussion :)
