[Mapbender-dev] Mapbender CSW starting point

[Mifan Careem]

Hi List,

I am currently working on the Mapbender CSW interface - the first bit
would be a simple and advanced search interface.

What would be the best way to access the CSW search interface? 

1. Would a button in the Toolbar (http://www.mapbender.org/Toolbar) be
better, like the AddWMSfromList - so there is an icon, when clicked,
provides a popup window with the search interface. If so, does the
results display in the same page as well?

2. List the CSW search interface as part of the Available Applications,
maybe under a different category? - this would open the search interface
in a different page specially for search.

In addition, I guess some of the functionality will go into the Admin
interface as well.

Thoughts?

Cheers
