Thanks!

I think it would be fine.  This sorta goes along with the feature 
request in trac that I had entered about putting an edit button on top 
of the View mode pages, if you think along these lines: If I log in, I'm 
probably expecting to be editing something, right? Or, at least, it's 
more likely I'll be editing than not. And when I'm editing, I frequently 
want to check how the output looks. So it might make sense to make 
"Edit" and "View" two modes which can easily be switched between.

I'm not saying you should make this WordPress, but I think they do it 
well: when you're logged in, you can click "edit" easily on any 
page/post while you're viewing your website, and when you're editing you 
can either "preview" the page or see the actual page by a couple of 
links.  I think if FM could emulate this it would be great (and also a 
familiar paradigm which, IMO, works fairly well).

Now, I'm not really suggesting any serious structural changes - this 
could easily be done by strategically placing a few buttons and 
possibly some minor design edits.

Follow up: can there be more than one "owner"?  (Correct answer: "Yes, 
and I'll make you one right away!" :) :) :)
