Well, I do not think it is going to go away as a management app. However, it was never meant for a base of applications. You should always start with your own skin, for example by using z3c.layer. > On the other hand, ZMI offers some > functionality, such as add/delete/cut & paste etc. which I'd have to > rewrite for many applications, so ZMI is quite appealing, too. I have found that the requirements of how you want to add, edit, delete and list is very different among applications. > Or is it perhaps possible to use such functionality in my z3c.layer.pagelet > - based skin? The ZMI views were not written to be reusable. There are many components that it uses that you can also reuse, such as object movers/copiers or menus (which are very slow, so I would not use them).
