I hope we will get a general help system attached to widgets, but for the moment I have a few notions:
  • Why do we have a sort order in as_item_help_map (is it possible to have multiple help texts under *one* icon (just thinking UI here)?
  • Shouldn't as_messages contain a locale ?
Furthermore, it would be good if we could colorize the mandatory tables vs. the optional ones. Even better would it be to colorize the tables into feature areas, which would allow us a staged development process.

To give an example: Though internationalization is key, our method of overlaying the default locale stored in as_items with additional locales in as_item_checks allows us to defer that functionality to a later stage, but we know that we always have to add a locale to the as_items table (probably defaulting to the users current locale).
