The node editing experience has improved with each major release of Drupal. What next steps will Drupal 8 take? This conversation will bring up aspects of the node UI that content editors may find unintuitive. Robin and I will bring lessons we've learned maintaining Workbench Moderation, a module that alters the front-end node form as well as parts of the node_save() routine. This conversation will touch on, but is not limited to:
The node preview button vs. saving drafts.
The published/create revision/sticky checkboxes.
Interplay between fields and non-field elements.
How to save drafts of a node after it has been published.
Enforcing new revisions.
Default revision messages.
