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
I hope I didn't overstep and bounds here. No one else responded back to this or posted anything in the wiki. So I've put in two proposals for their consideration. One for XML diffs. The other for general UI enhancements including CSS layout, site tree interaction capaiblities, and syntax highlighting; also saying there are more ideas on bugzilla. I hope this is okay for everyone.
