Re: [cmis] Thumbnails

[David Nuescheler <david@day.com>]

hi dave,

i think that's a great suggestion.

on a more general basis couldn't something like that be taken
care of by the "mixin" proposal and then let mediarss or atommedia
guide us in terms of naming?

since i am not entirely updated on the status of the "mixin" proposal
this may already be taken care of...

regards,
david
