Meta-Descriptions

[Lukas Renggli]

Hi Frédéric,

yes there is a meta-description in SmallWiki 2. Actually it is used on 
Command-Objects only, to be able to build and render GUIs 
automatically. I think this will make it much simpler to build GUIs for 
different front-ends, e.g like the Seaside and the Trippy interface 
that I'm currently playing with.

I don't know how far to continue the idea of having meta-descriptions. 
Of course they could be added to all the objects in the wiki like the 
server, the structures, the document-entities, the properties itself, 
etc. but I don't know if they are of big use there.

I'm currently just playing with that stuff and there is nothing very 
useful yet. However - as always - I'm looking for comments, ideas and 
contributions from everybody.

Cheers,
Lukas
