Thanks for the pointer!

Does anybody have ideas for possible improvements by a student?  (I
assume any work would be for Lenya 2.)

IMO the proposals shouldn't require to get familiar with Lenya internals. The smaller the interface to Lenya and the more self-contained the work, the better.

Some nice-to-have improvements from my POV:

- Diff for XML document revisions, based on the DOM structure rather than XML text

- A clean CSS-based layout for the Lenya GUI that makes it easy to use custom skins

- A nice, performant tree view of the site with more interaction capabilities (drag&drop, workflow, ...), maybe using Ajax

- Syntax highlighting for the source editor (aka OneForm)

- Complete, tested WebDAV server functionality (might be too complicated, though)

- OpenID authentication


The deadline is approaching on the 12th. Did we want to do something? A diff that could be understood (at least partially) by someone who doesn't know XML would be awesome. Syntax highlighting would be quite nice if we move to allowing the XSLT or CSS to be edited inside of Lenya.
