That would also reduce the vertical space. I still prefer a unified display like I've tried to do in the mashup server. Getting the visuals is tricky (I'm still not happy with what I've got) but the end result is a very compact way to display both the user's and the average rating, and change the rating with a simple click. > * The "Information" pane is just too big at first glance, especially > when you first start with an empty registry pointing to root.

Yes some kind of obvious indicator would be good but please don't resort to a modal dialog for this as WSAS did!

I'm currently calculating based on ownership. > Thanks, > --Glen > > _______________________________________________ > Registry-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://wso2.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/registry-dev _______________________________________________ Registry-dev mailing list [email protected] http://wso2.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/registry-dev
