QUESTION How about a specific components section for each page

[Bigin]

Yeah... that is exactly what I have tried to accomplish with these examples wrapper plugins like IM Extra Fields, ItemMangers-Photogallery, Frontainer, Simple Forum etc. All of these plugins are build around ItemManager framework have a very robust design but are not very polish with intention. The goal of ItemManger is to make it attractive for developers by powerful API and the wrapper plugins more easier to use for the end-user...
But let's see, perhaps someone else will see all the advantages by using ItemManager and have the urge to further development.
