Thanks for a great chat! I have a good feeling about the new admin-
generator!

I wanted to add some extra feedback, which I'll do in this post:

---------
filters (and maybe also regular edit-pages) can benefit from combo-
chaining from the generator: to narrow down possibilities, E.G select
a city by first selecting a country; which would reduces the number of
cities

Ajax does not only require hooks in the skin (by setting ids and class-
names), but also some extra actions in the controller for the specific
actions.
- Maybe we should find a way to allow to define these extra actions,
or are there ideas/solutions for this already. Maybe extending a
baseActionsClass by a ajaxPluginActionClass someway without breaking
the end-actionClass for the user? or maybe use Mixins? Or like it is
done for Javascript-methods in the sfExtjsThemePlugin, by providing an
array of partial-files which per partial contain the code of the extra
method of the ExtJs-javascript-object. (For an example of this please
ask)

Minor addition, ability to define different title for new and edit
forms.
Minor addition, ability to sort on multiple columns (implementation
for 1.0 already exists)

I also have mixed feelings about supporting both php-config style and
yml:
- I think it is bad practise to have two ways to accomplish the same,
confusing for the user
- This would "require" plugin-writers (me) to supporth both as well.
+ I see it would be nice to keep backwards compatible
+ I like yml as well, it is quick and simple (associative arrays need
to be defined recursive to get close to its flexibility)
+/- Php is better structured

To create a navigation panel with the sfAdminManager it would be nice
if you can:
- also add custom navigation links (for example to external website/
webapplications)
- per module/sfAdmin-Object can add custom links (breadcrumbs) from
the module/object-configuration
Again customisation of the layout (withs skins) would be a "must",
since navigation is an important part of the look and feel of your
application. I would like to be able to add generate an ExtJs Skin
from the information the sfAdminManager can provide me.

For everyone who didn't attend, please find a summary at:

For now lets wait about what Fabien will provide/setup

Cheers
Leon
