+1 interesting, although nice to have
Using it we would be able also to have some panels that provide future
actions if the application is not valid, or we could use it to add some
custom rights in the same XClassPreferences page.
Thanks,

Interesting stuff.
Will raise the complexity of XWiki overall and the number of places to
check when debugging an issue, but will also give app devs much more
customization power.
We would probably also need to look into the current limitation we have for
Nested Pages Administration (since WebPreferences requires the "admin"
right) and how this would impact this proposal.
+1 from my side.
Thanks,
Eduard

I guess technically you mean space and wiki
preferences.
Yes.

What kind of object ? XWikiPreferences or a
special kind ?
The XClass Preferences page would have a XWikiPreferences object, just page (space) and wiki preferences pages. In the
paragraph above I was
actually indicating how the XClass Preferences page can be determined:
either using a naming convention or using configuration (similar to the
way
the XClass sheet is configured).
Just wanted to be sure you wanted to use the same class and not
introduce a new one.
Sounds good to me. Don't really have any issue in mind.
