[Product-Developers] finishing a product

[John DeStefano]

Thanks, Maurits and Hedley, for an excellent kick-start.  I have much  
to review and implement here.

If I may ask: how would you do this, by adding another condition to  
the workflow subscriber?
    or portal_type != 'Announcement'   # ?

Definitely a mistake on my part.  Thank you.

This works to add Topic (Collection in v3) object to the list of  
addable types.  I would like to either add one programmatically inside  
this Folder-ish type when it is created, or at least limit the number  
that can be created to only one.  But more importantly, I'd like to  
make the Topic the default view once it exists (or, again, at least  
make it possible to make the Topic view the default view). Simply  
making Topics addable doesn't seem to do this.

Thanks,
