i have a feeling that most people will create a new publication before they have looked at the example one, simply because it is the very first interactive item on the page. and all the recent breakage and problems were caused by the createPublication usecase iiuc - this is a one-time-only, admin-only convenience thing. it's not particularly robust and doesn't need to be. but as it is now, it will dominate people's user experience. bad. all i'm trying to do is direct people to the example pub *first*, and then allow them to create their own. your list pretty much covers that except for people who go "hey, a form field. let's type something and submit it!". judging by zones, these are the majority ;) -- Jörn Nettingsmeier "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code." - Ken Thompson. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
