Restore /admin/structure path access and provide link from Manage menu about reservoir HOT 5 CLOSED

Many (most?) headless systems don't really need to make major changes to text format & text editor configuration. Also, they're very much Drupalisms. For now, Reservoir is making the choice to not expose their configuration.

Creating additional vocabularies is more likely to be useful/relevant/necessary for headless systems. But here too, Reservoir is for now making the choice to not expose that. I believe that the "Tags" folksonomy is "good enough" for many use cases. Even more so because in a headless system, you might as well create additional content models (node_types in Drupal lingo) and then reference content of those content models instead. Exposing taxonomy vocabularies means you can have "two kinds" of content models. And both are fieldable. For many intents & purposes, they just have different internals, and have different UIs. That's … very confusing for non-Drupalists.

So, until this is requested many times, I'm going to have to disagree for the sake of making Reservoir accessible to non-Drupalists.

I hope that made sense! Happy to continue this conversation. This is not a "definitive no". This is a "no for now".

When I bend my Drupalist brain around the idea that this isn't supposed to be Drupal-y, then the UI choices made make sense.

Having said that, as a Drupalist who needs to build headless systems, I'd like to find a way I and others like me can use Reservoir as more than a source of information from which to reverse engineer all the headless goodness y'all have worked out. A way I can have Reservoir AND my drupal-isms; maybe a sub-module of reservoir_ui that restores some of things like taxonomy. Is that something you and the project would be willing to consider?

That is an excellent question!

That sounds like a "I'm a Drupalist" checkbox during the installer, to install the reservoir_ui_drupalist module?

I think this is the sort of thing that needs a long-running, thoughtful, balanced discussion :)

Alright. We can call this "wont fix" then. I've started #22 as a place for that longer discussion.

Thanks @wimleers

I don't understand why you closed this and created a new issue, now we have to just repeat/quote some things said here. But it's fine :)
