I too have been wondering when the front-end editing stuff from Evo will be implemented in Revo.
I asked in a different forum relating to Gallery and asked the same basically. I would like the front end editing/management that is offered with maxigallery.
Here’s the post:

The reaction of splittingred shows a slight disconnect between the coders and many end-users.
Most of my clients are far from tech-savy.
when editing or uploading stuff, they only understand the kind of interfaces they see on facebook or blogspot (which is a lot for them as is) so I try and design sites that do not require them to enter the back-end manager at all.
Using Quickmanager, Maxigallery, and FDM, I can make a site that they never have to touch the backend and still can do almost anything they need.
FDM- for some reason it’s not in the repository anymore even(there must be a reason why, I’d like to know it), but it can be downloaded from the forums in some post.
Maxigallery- it seems like Doze (the original author) isn’t working on it for Revo, even though I read a post a while ago where he said he was but was busy.
Quickmanager or QuickEdit- I hope that is being worked on.
I know that the modx team has spent a lot of time making Revo a new better modx, especially the back end manager, but I hope they haven’t scrapped the whole front end editing concept that made Evo amazing and tangible for anyone to work with.
I would love for modx team members to post about these choices being made. If they weren’t choices, then it should be looked into.
I’m sure that I am not the only one who liked these features. All of us should chime in so they are not lost!
