> WDYT? Would you be ok to modify all our existing apps to go in that direction? I'm not sure this fits all the applications. E.g. Activity stream, Administration, Annotations. It makes (more) sense when the application creates data documents that the user is aware of and which he can edit directly. The user goes to each document to view and edit it. The application doesn't make changes on his behalf, under the hood. +1 for having a dedicated code space in this case. > > Note: A future solution is to use nested spaces but even with nested spaces > the need for 2 spaces would be the same.
