+== Overview ==
+
+The proposal ask for '''creation of a dedicated sandbox''' in order to work on new GUI components in order to easily build new GUI based on GeoNetwork server module.
+
+
+Objectives:
+ * Create components to compose Search, Admin, Editor interface
+ * Provide a default GeoNetwork UI
+ * Provide developers documentation on components
+ * Clean existing client code based (removing JS dependencies)
+ * Improve existing server services in order to provide simple access to each module (eg. User management, System admin)
+
+
+These components are written in JS and depends on:
+ * OpenLayers
+ * Ext.js
+ * (optional) GeoExt
+
+
+A separate GUI application is created and minor changes should occur on the server side (service improvements or new services for simple tasks like "get groups").
+
+
+Example of a !GeoExt !MapPanel linked to search results :
