[Product Developers] marshaling images in a better way

[Kai Diefenbach]

Hello Héctor,

next month, I'll start with a project for a big newspaper in Sambia. So
ideas around newspapers regarding cms (use-cases, processes, etc.) are
interesting for me in general.

This sounds very cool and as Jon stated, this could be of interest for
Plone in general.

I'll implement this as Rob suggested. I'm very busy at the moment but
I'll try to provide a first prototye in the next few days.

I do not know anything about that yet, I'm sure this is interesting for
me and my customer, too.

Best regards
