very cool :-)

I would like to add a third-party resource type page to the yanel 
website where we can link such resource types as yours.

Makes sense?

very much aggreed and I have the same itch ;-)

The question is where would you expect this to be configured? Or just as 
you suggest above if null is returned?

that would probably be the most elegant. I think the CreatableV2 is not 
released yet

http://www.yanel.org/javadoc/org/wyona/yanel/core/api/attributes/CreatableV2.html

but on the other hand it exists for quite some time now without any 
changes and hence I am afraid
that people consider it realeased ...

Also we have the still experimental CreatableV3 within the contributions 
folder ....

Well, we need to discuss this and make some decisions ;-)

Thanks
