If you already know, how will this frontend editing work (such as updated NewsEditor, new MODx api or built-in functionality). I know the manager and frontend will be almost one-and-the-same. Is there a description already of this process or functionality?
It will likely be via php scripts that we’ll call AJAX "connectors", or directly via the xPDO-powered model (or set of related API’s) developed as MODx 0.9.7.
The connectors would be available from an isolated "connector" context, outside of the typical "web" and "mgr" contexts that we are used to in the current MODx. It will handle validation and processing of any authorized content management related requests, regardless of the source. But, the key is that the MODx model will provide centralized access to the domain data and logic that even these connectors will utilize, so there will be fewer limitations imposed by the poor-man’s web services architecture the connectors will represent.
More on this and some related MODx 0.9.7 manager changes that I’m quite excited about, very soon.
