Sorry, perhaps i need to rephrase. I never meant to imply that lenya cannot handle such document sets. I merely claim that applications dealing with a massive number of docs (that is also expected to grow linearly or even exponentially through time) usually render their navigation based on application-specific rules and that it is impossible to ship lenya with one-seze-fits-all navigation logic. > > My understanding is > >that Lenya's default navigation logic is the best possible to ship with. > > > >With that said, providing a rules-based system (mostly against metadata > > and user roles) for relatively easy and codeless configuration to > > specific requirements would be a great step forward.

For a lenya app that grows by handrends of documents per month, i probably wouldn't want all of those documents to be freely exposed by the navigation. Suppose a generic categorization is needed and exposed by the horizontal tabs and beyond that: * only documents created/updated during the last 30 days are exposed by the navigation. * due to deep structuring, i only up to three hierachy levels up the context document are to be rendered in the navigation menu That's just business rules. I am not trying to say that lenya cannot handle that, i just tried to point out that lenya cannot fit vertical use-cases out of the box and that, instead of trying to figure out a navigation system panacea, the effort should be channeled in creating something that is easily customizable. Again, the default show-all hierarchical view is definitely the best to ship with.
