I looked at T4 last weekend and was happy to see more updates and
progress this weekend.

To get the latest code and since 'bzr update' wasn't working to pick
up Massimo's latest changes, I pulled down code from Montiero's
branch.  Hopefully, the changes can be incorporated together and I can
get update working.

I second Montiero's comments that T4 is looking nice.  I too want to
use it in a project I'm working on.  My work this far on that project
has been with T3 and thus far mainly in creating CSS and setting up
the menu structure.

I like/prefer the current T4 menu structure.  It allows menus to be
setup very quickly and are able to be moved around quickly.  The
flexibility of having many menu's point to one page and to both
internal and external pages is nice.  Usage models will vary with some
sites creating menu's first and other creating pages.   To facilitate
the page creation better,  perhaps T4 could adopt a feature from
mediawiki that allows the user to create a page when a search or a
link to an undefined page is taken.   This feature should only work
for a logged in user/administrator.

With T3, the menu's aren't ordered by default.   Massimo posted
instructions for changing the order of the menu's, but this only works
for one level and submenu's specifications need to include the same
numeric prefix or things break.   I modified the code to strip off the
prefix before building the menus and got ordering working for primary
and submenus.  I can post those changes if there is interest, but it's
a pain to re-order the menu's this way.

I have also found several issues with T4 at this point.  I'll try not
to overlap those that Montiero has reported.

1) The 'create' page doesn't create a new page.   Instead, it appears
to just allow the user to edit the predefined 'main' page.
2) There doesn't appear to be a selectable permission setting for
allowing a 'not loggged in user' to view a page.
3) Markdown is not working completely.  I visited the help link to
view the markdown syntax.  I copied the markdown syntax to the main
page in wiki mode.  Some displays correctly, but some doesn't.   Named
links display correctly, but the targets didn't.   H1 also didn't
format correctly.
4) When changes are made to pages or settings, the changes become
available immediately and don't need to be published.
5) There needs to be a page for the admin to edit the groups and
memberships since a user needs to be a member of all groups they have
need view pages for.   Per my earlier observation, users will also
likely need records to view pages the don't require login.

Thanks Massimo and Montiero for your work.
