CPIA Blocks: Content View

Inputs:

• collection of items (content-spec)
• selected item
• list of columns
  • column header
  • attribute to use from item for column (might be complicated)

Events fired:

• content item selected

Events watched:

• select content item
• content list changed (notification from repository)
• content list data changed (notification from repository)

Open issues and questions:

• Would be good to be clear about ItemCollection, content-specs, queries
• Do we need a "content item activated" event?
• Would be good to be clear about repository notifications

Proposal:

• The ContentViewBlock^? is a subkind of View. It should contain two blocks, a list block and a detail block.

Notes:

• This view is likely to change past 0.3, but this should cover the Caterpillar UI
• This block is the block used in the tabbed container
