Hi Tim and Barry.

I think you mean project cloud. I was not aware this top-level
collection was on another app. I assumed it was only mainsite.

As barry can attest to, the tabs do appear when the layout is switched
to 3.0 (thanks Michael). Barry is designing this page so I appreciate
ideas like this that convey what the users are searching.

(We are completing the /people page maybe we want a person/team cloud
based on karma once we remove the the shipit users from the DB.)

Yes we do. This is what we do for the old URL that some sites link to
register a project.

    <browser:renamed-page
        for="lp.registry.interfaces.product.IProductSet"
        name="+new-guided"
        new_name="+new"
        rootsite="mainsite"
        />
