Description
I am wondering if leveraging views would help the workspace module become more feature rich? Perhaps workspace can simply become a filter for views? See http://drupal.org/node/243215#comment-909334 for my views support request.

+1 for this feature. I was sad that this module isn't a bunch of default views. :(

Hi bomarkmonk,
This sounds like a very good idea. But IMO Workspace should still provide its functionality as a lightweight standalone module even without Views.
More feedback from other users welcome!

Here is a related discussion about views: http://drupal.org/node/243215
Workspace could become a robust views filter with a default view that works like the existing workspace page, then the workspace module itself might require much less maintenance. Views is pretty universal these days, but there might be a Drupal site out there that would use workspace, but not views. I'm not sure how realistic that possibility actually is. Just adding my two cents here, but I'm not a developer myself, so take my suggestion with a grain of salt :)

Thanks for the feedback! Actually I have a Drupal site out there with no Views (yet). It's a primary school website and I want to keep it as simple as possible for to keep it manageable even for not so tech savvy teachers. But I will keep your suggestion on the list.
However, IMO the scope of the Workspace module should be kept restricted to the user's own content. Extending it to other user's content as suggested in #243215: Filter Content to what the Current User can Edit is already handled by modules like http://drupal.org/project/workflow
Cheers,
