What I'd like to see is that for models which don't have any metadata and/or curation information that rather than a complicated plone site error users are presented with a simple message that the model doesn't contain any data of the type required for that particular view. Similarly, I'd expect the same kind of page when I click the view math tab for a model with no math in it. Just like the data tab typically gives an "empty" page now.
Just to note that the first model list on the model repository page as well as the first "starred" model both give the error for the model metadata - these are probably the first models the casual repository browser will click on. Hence they might be getting a bad first impression of the model repository. As for the tabs required, I guess we'll need to see how well the navigation works on your combined pages. If it all works fine then there shouldn't be any problems just having a single metadata tab. Otherwise we might need to look at further categories into which to separate the metadata (publication, curation, simulation, graphing, etc...). Whether such separation is best accomplished via tabs or some other mechanism we can leave that decision for now. Let us know once there are some sample models under the new workflow and we can have a look at them and take them for a spin. Andre.
