New layer page confusing users with warning sign
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3652
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3652
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Wicket UI
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
             Fix For: 2.0.1


The "New Layer" page is confusing users by providing a warning sign for layers 
that are still un-published and a check for layers that have been already 
published.

Publishing the same layer multiple times is valid case, in that some clients 
cannot access alternate styles or cannot deal with alternate projections, so 
people publish the same layer multiple times to work around this limitation.
Yet normally a layer is published just once.

A better idea would be to leave the column empty for the un-published layers, 
and maybe provide a list of links to the already published versions in the 
"published" column for layers that have already been published

Another option would be to have a checkbox to show the already published 
layers, and by default, hide them
