Well, whatever, as long as there somewhere is a simple list of which profiles that has been installed displayed. > What about adding that information to the import logs and creating an > import log for the initial site creation as well?

I completely agree that there should be a list of which profiles that have been applied. It's a basic usability and support feature. People say "Eh, we get an error", and we ask them "did you apply this profile" and they go "I don't know". We want them to know. :-) -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/ ___ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests
