[TYPO3-hci] Focus on the editors.

[Troels Kjær Rasmussen]

But isn´t that exactly what workspaces are doing? - you are able to 
configure each workspace quite specific for each usertype (role) you want - 
and you get versioning and prof workflow as a part of that package too.

Workspaces seems to me to be the future ECM approach to workflows, roles and 
versioning - a better dashboard for each workspace would be perfect though 
(maybe even a templateable one like the one typoconsult did recently for 
their schools project, for those of you who have seen it.
