Description: Introduction
        ============
        
        This product will add to your Plone control panel a new entry: "*Type criterion settings*".
        
        From this panel you can add a set of definition about general content types, which are defined using
        a group of existing Plone native types.

           :alt: Type criterion settings
        
        For example: you can define a new general type called "Textual contents" that is defined by grouping
        Pages, News and Events.
        
        All those definitions can be used in Plone collections by using the new "*General type*" criteria.

        In brief: searching for new general types defined means take a search onto all grouped native types.
        
        Motivation
        ==========
        
        I found a lot of Plone users that hardly learn the difference between content types.
        For example: the difference between a Page and a File is often too tiny in the mind of the site contributor.
        In other situations a grouping feature (like: "look for all multimedia type") can be useful.
        
        With this approach users can only care about some general family on types that a power user defined.
        
        Finally 3rd party products could extend an existing list on types, and when a content type change (because it
        has been replaced by another, better product) you only care about reconfiguring the general type, not all
        the collections in the site.
        
        Compatibility
        =============
        
        This product has been tested on Plone 4.3.2, but required `plone.app.querystring 1.2`__ or better.
        
        __ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.app.querystring/1.2.0
        
        If you have problems installing this add-on, try to pin plone.app.querystring to version 1.2::
        
            [buildout]
            ...
            versions=versions
            ...
            [versions]
            plone.app.querystring = 1.2.0
            ...
        
        TODO
