As an extension to my ideas in the referred to blog post I've got an idea of how to manage "work environments":
A work environment would be a set of appliances you want to be automatically started when you open a specific kind of object. By default, a "viewing" and an "editing" environment would be defined for each object type at the system-wide level. You would also be able to change environments at the project-wide level and the per-object level. To change the environment of an object or object type you would: 1: Open an object of that type 2: Open/Close appliances until you have the desired work environment. 3: From the "Appliances" menu choose "Save Environment" 4: In the resulting dialog choose whether to change the system-, project-, or object-wide domain. 5: Also choose a name for the environment, and whether to use it as default or not. 6: Press "Ok" and then you are finished! This would make it very easy to create a work environment that suits you project.
