Hi Alex,

I agree in what you are saying, but is it the right way to have an ui 
that needs to be thaught? You're right when you are saying, that editors 
need good trainers, but isn't there a way to design the ui in a way, 
that no trainers are needed at all?

Do you need a trainig for opening doors? No, because it is simple. Just 
push the doorknob and pull/push the door. A doorknob is an example for a 
simple intuitive user interface that needs no trainig.

I'm sure that it won't be as easy to handle websites and managing typo3 
as opening doors, but those people who have problems with the interface 
usually don't need all the features of typo3 and don't think of 
pagetrees, data records and extensions. So my approach was to have 
different views of the backend.

A think there must be the way in having a clear and intuitive backend. 
Restricting the access to what the editors see is one point, but i think 
there are some more things to be done to create an interface which can 
be used without trainig.

Bye,

Fabrizio
