Comment(by crispinatime):

 I was about to open a ticket but think it would have been duplication so
 will add some support to this.  The 'New Resource' dialog could do with a
 rethink.  Some things to consider:

 I still end up constantly updating resources because finding the latest
 for my server version is more time consuming.

  * As Maestro knows the current server version (if one connection open) it
 should offer the relevant schema versions.

  * Change the multi-select (left-hand list) to a large icon list - making
 it easy to pick a version.  Latest at the top and a default set (see
 above)

  * The Templates list is too complicated.  For a particular server version
 what I want to see is instead of categorised by templates, categorised by
 type and showing not the new templates for that version but the *latest*
 valid in all types for that version.
 For example if I am on MapGuide OS 2.2 I would see:
  - Feature Source
  - Vector Layer Definition (v1.3)
  - Web Layout (v1.1)
 (etc)

  * Possibly below this (hidden or collapsed by default) would be older
 (valid) versions of the templates accessible only if required.
