hello, michael, alessandro, other friends, i wish to report i'm currently further improving tgext.pages, with integration with tgext.menu as a second goal.
it works even better, and it's administration is much easier: no special controller is needed, just permissions to the current user. would you want me to prepare a pre-release for your work on the site?
