Vincent,
I disagree, I think having a good starting place is excellent, but making it difficult to extend is indeed dumb but not how you intended. ;-) So what do you say to the guy (like me) that says, "XWS is great, but I need __fill in the blank____", Sorry Ollie, it is not intended to be for that! I don't think "only be able to add applications that we've packaged for them" is a big arrogant for an open source project don't you think? Think about it. XWS is perfect...huh? Does it have Invite..so how to you invite someone. Does it have Todo? Does it have ____ which are part of XE true enough but making it hard to use them does what for you or for the people that would otherwise use it and perhaps contribute back?
You have the right to disagree of course... I'm not going to enter in a fight with you. If you want to contribute things then we'll all be happy and love it. Thanks -Vincent

I also think that it's not the goal of Workspaces to be a generic purpose wiki. This is for XE. Thus we need to be very careful about the features that we expose in XWS since its goal is to be dumb simple! My take is that users should only be able to add the applications that we've packaged for them (i.e. that are in the distribution). Of course an admin can probably do whatever he wants since it's an XE under the hood ;)
WDYT?
Thanks -Vincent
