Re: Implementing "Create Topic" [was: Identical UMO titles in UU]

[sergey@total-knowledge.com]

This is not what we have in specs and mailing list discussions, maybe
something changed recently and I missed it, though. Also it's very user
unfriendly imho.
Author makes minor changes to the UMO until he satisfied with it's
content, then publishes it. From UI point of view, when creating new
version of UMO, user expirience should be exactly the same as with minor
changes, except selecting "versioned" radio button on submit(or clicking
"Publish" instead of Save")
Also new version supposed to be created when user changes UMO
content(adds/removes children UMOs) and this should be reflected in
topic_create_version() too.
