Please add a thumbnail tool that works with Template Variables. Thanks.
You can use
phpThumb with image tv.

I’d love to be able to schedule chunks for publishing and unpublishing. Most of the promotional content I do on sites is variable. For now I just comment out the contents of the chunk, but having the client being able to schedule them would be great.
1.) I’d like to see a better internatiolization. (one document - multiple languages) for a better explanation try the demo of typepublish
http://www.typepublish.org/.
2.) Please redesign the backend of the revolution fork of modx. it looks horrible in an usability point of view. IMO it is a slick GUI (and Ext works fine), but the backenduser will see nothing inspite of a lot of blue buttons. The User will be overwhelmed of the possibilities he/she can click on. thats not the productive way.
I suggest you’ve a short look at the backend-interface of a wordpress blog (2.5).
Thanks, le block

1. I think we all agree that internationalization of single documents needs streamlining. I hesitate to say but think that this will become a modx core addon for revolution once it is out.
2. The backend is not perfect but there are several options for customizing the back end or creating a new one that will be different for editors or managers. You could create a whole new manager interface or what I call a side end that non-admins could use to manage the content, auditing, and other tasks.
BTW. The new WordPress 2.5+ interface is not perfect. The dashboard is utterly useless for regular users. I’d prefer to jump right into tasks. If I was getting stats or some other info there (which can be done with a plugin) but otherwise I would rather end up on the new post or manage screen.

For me the most urgent addition for MODx is the ability make multi lingual sites.

Well, that’s why I chose to use the precursor to MODx; I needed a multi-language site. There are a number of ways to accomplish this now, depending on your needs.
