Here are a couple of Sitellite suggestions. (I may have stated something that is already included!)
• A way to organise Web pages, Web files, News stories, Sidebars etc - some sort of folder structure that would allow pages etc to be grouped and easily accessible.
• The ability to change the default site template from within 'Site Settings'
• An easy way to create a nice menu (e.g. a vertical or horizontal java menu or something similar)
• easier way to update Sitellite
• easy way to install add-ons

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the suggestions! So they don't get lost in the shuffle of the forum, it would be good to also file these in the bug reporter here:

Taking the Control Panel > Content menu as a starting point, can you describe how you see this working a little more? I'm not sure I'm 100% clear on what you have in mind. :)

Between the SiteTemplate add-on and the Site Settings form, you should have full control over your templates and which template set is the default.
You can find SiteTemplate on the forge site (the link above, and in the top menu).

There are several menu boxes available. You can find a list of them here:
http://cookbook.sitellite.org/index/sitewiki-app/show.BuiltInNavigationBoxes
I'd like to improve that documentation soon with some specific examples of each, but it does provide descriptions and how to use them in general for now.
benm said:

Agreed. It would be nice to expand the upgrade documentation into a full step-by-step tutorial (http://cookbook.sitellite.org/index/sitewiki-app/show.UpgradingHowto), and perhaps even work to automate the process a little bit.

Good timing! This is currently under discussion here:
http://www.sitelliteforge.com/index/siteforge-bugs-action/id.2
Hopefully that helps answer a few of these and show where we're at with the others. :)
Cheers,
Lux

I was thinking that you could navigate from the control panel and select Web Pages and instead of a long list that you can then search through using the 'search parameters' you could instead have a folder system to hold different web pages and also present the page hierarchy.
Between the SiteTemplate add-on and the Site Settings form, you should have full control over your templates and which template set is the default.
You can find SiteTemplate on the forge site (the link above, and in the top menu).
Yes, it is easy to edit the default template using SiteTemplate, but what I was thinking is that you should be able to create a new template and then select that as the default from within the admin area, rather than having to edit the config file.
Thanks for the other suggestions, I going to have a look at them now.
All the best.
