Without having read this thread and this very post I (didn't find the time to look in the forums last weeks and should have waited for ProcessWireWeekly to catch up with all developments before yelling ideas into the forum ) coincidentally had a similar idea (again): https://processwire.com/talk/topic/7572-processwire-recipes/#entry73055

Oh, thanks for the pointer. Totally missed this thread because I haven't found the time to look into the forums for a while I haven't yet caught up with all developments, infos, ideas - which are kind of fast-paced lately

In a funny coincidence, Apertus was released the same week as Admin Theme Reno - and the latter is far more advanced and had a longer phase of development. And instead of using Apertus, like I planned, I find myself using Reno in my current projects I'm at crossroads here - both admin themes bring finally the sidebar back to PW 2.4+, which was kind of my main intent So instead of putting the focus on Apertus I could try to help implement its "exclusive features" forum search and useful links to Reno (if the creators are interested to have this functionality in there - otherwise, I'll fork ).

Thanks for the valuable insights, Peter. Originally I also started this thread with the intention in mind to compare what arguments and features other systems offer and promote, what "enterprise customers" search in a CMS and - on the other side, what ProcessWire already has to offer. Like mentioned later in this thread, ProcessWire is theoretically able to offer solutions to a part of these expectations, while others could be on the project's roadmap. It's good and enlightening to read such a checklist from the clients' side of view

Often times, creating a side project is first and foremost scratching your own itch Or to start differently: Currently, I'm developing a site where I need CKeditor (and later jQueryUI Datepicker) outside of the admin, in frontend. I searched Google and the forums and found an approach to follow - but during the research the site laravel-recipes.com came into my mind (since I'm currently also looking into this framework). It's content consists of small, spot-on bits of information, for example: http://laravel-recipes.com/recipes/269 Just to think out loudly here, wouldn't it be nice to have a ProcessWire counterpart of such a site? processwire-recipes.com for example? Target group: Developers, from beginner to advanced Difference to these forums: Stripping the discussion part, concentrating on the info; and if done properly: bypassing the mediocre forum search, better tagging Difference to the official tutorial section: Focusing on not creating a whole site, but modular parts of it. Single solutions. For example: First child redirects (shameless plug, but this is the format of information pieces I'm having in mind) Difference to the API documentation: Situation-based ("I need this and that") instead of architecture-based Laravel.io (forum), laravel.com (official, and doc) and laravel-recipies.com possibly prove that these type of sites can coexist in a framework ecosystem, so I guess a recipes site would not cannibalize this forum here nor the doc section. A recipe site like this would live and die with its content, of course. I would be ready to share all the small pieces of information I encounter that would make a good "recipe". But that alone wouldn't be enough so this project won't survive without contribution of the community. What's your opinion on this? Yea or nay? Update: ...it just took, erm, nearly three months,... but here it is: https://processwire-recipes.com/

One could say you're able to pre-order PW 2.5 this friday, and it gets shipped on the 19th

The first one, since the second one sounds redundant and users are pages anyway. And you could use roles to control viewing and editing. Detecting a user's role or create new ones via a module is way easier than to manage a somewhat parallel structure.
